The Ladies Love Slater Dean
A player jammed for 22,000 under the gun and Kane Lai re-jammed one seat over. Action folded around to Slater Dean, who had 77,000 and called it all off.
"I am f****d. I am so f****d," said Lai after Dean called, tabling . The under-the-gun player showed and Dean turned over .
The runout came to give the shortest stack a shot at a triple, but running left the situation unchanged and Dean scooped both pots, leaving Lai short in doing so.
