The Devil and Bob Lauria

Bob Lauria raised to 525 and was called in position by the player in Seat 8, whom we have sometimes heard nicknamed "The Devil". On a flop of {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {8-Clubs}, Lauria bet another 600 and was called.

Both players checked the {6-Clubs} turn. At the river {j-Hearts}, Lauria check-called a 500-chip bet from his opponent. Lauria's opponent showed down top pair, top kicker with {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}. Lauria rivered two pair, {K-Spades} {j-Diamonds}, to take down the pot and increase his count to 26,000.
