Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The board was reading {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and the pot had been bet on the flop and the turn when Ban Lai sent all his chips in the middle for 34,700. He was facing Daniel Tang on the button who made the call.

Holding {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, Lai had the dominated hand against {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} in Tang's hand for the straight. After the floors ended up counting the remaining players and announced the bubble had burst, Lai made his way to the exit.
