Douglas Lang is Not Invincible

It was the battle of the blinds as the Small Blind player called and Douglas Lang checked in the big blind. {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} all graced the felt and it was the Small Blind who came out firing 2,000. Lang barely hesitated and made the call.

On the {9-Hearts} turn the Small Blind bet out again, this time putting out 5,000 in the middle. Lang again made the call and both players were allowed to see a river.

The {Q-Diamonds} river card brought a check from the Small Blind. With the Small Blind slowing down Lang jumped at the chance to take control. Lang put out a bet of 12,000 and was called by his opponent. Cards were flipped and everyone had to take a double look at Lang's {7-}{3-} for seven high. The Small Blind showed {K-Spades}{9-Spades} for two pair and the winning hand.
