The Raising of (Laz)arus

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

When we last saw Laz Hernandez, he was forced to surrender 7,000 in winnings that was mistakenly pushed his way after Dan Gannon left the table despite winning the hand.

This unusual setback does not appear to have slowed Hernandez down, however, as he now holds one of the largest stacks in the room.

We caught the tail end of the key hand in question, with Hernandez' {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} tabled and the board reading {3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Hernandez had spiked his set on the river, while his shell shocked opponent could only look down at his cracked {A-}{A-} on despair.
