Rea Takes from Tanaka
Level 36
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 500,000 ante
Satoshi Tanaka raised to 2,000,000 on the button with J♦4♦, and Lucas Rea made the call holding K♣Q♣ in the big blind.
Rea checked the 10♠K♦A♣ flop, and Tanaka continued for 1,500,000. The call was made, and Rea checked once more on the 5♦ turn. Tanaka bet again after picking up a flush draw, this time for 5,500,000.
Rea replied with a raise to 12,000,000, and Tanaka called. Both players declined to bet on the 10♥ river, as Rea showed his two pair to take down a big pot.
