Laugt Flats with Big Slick and Takes the Lead
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Ahmed Blili J♦9♦ raised to 400,000 from under the gun. Quentin Laugt A♣K♥ and Habib Rachedi 2♠2♣ called from the cutoff and big blind.
The A♥J♣5♦ flop checked through to the 6♦ turn. Laugt was ahead with top pair-top kicker, while Blili had a pair and a flush draw. Blili bet 375,000 before Laugt made it 1,400,000. Rachedi ditched his ducks and Blili went into the tank, and then called.
Blili checked when the 8♥ river arrived, and faced a bet of 2,800,000. He ended up making a good fold and Laugt took the pot.
