Ken Pates raised to 170,000 on the button, and Mike Lang defended his big blind. Lang checked to the raiser on the flop, and Pates fired 225,000. Lang raised it to 500,000, and Pates announced a deep-voiced all in.

Lang tanked for a long few minutes before voicing a call.

Lang:
Pates:

Lang was in a great spot, needing to fade only a three, while a pair on the board below kings would chop it for Pates. The and kept it clean for Lang, and Pates had to settle for fifth.
