Lazar Doubling Up

donpeters

Scott Lazar was all in preflop with two ladies by his side, {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

. His opponent held {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

and we were off to the common race situation you see so often in poker tournaments.

A race it was until the flop came down -- {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

{4-Spades}

-- to give Lazar a strangle hold on the hand with top set. His opponent did have some runner-runner outs though for some straights. The turn brought the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

and that sealed things up. The river completed the board with the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

.

Lazar is now up to 36,000.
