Lau Chops to Survive

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

Alan Lau got his short stack in before the flop from the small blind against a single opponent on the button.

Alan Lau: {A-Hearts}{Q-}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Button: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

The button had the preflop edge and Lau needed to improve in order to stay alive. The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades} and he took half the pot with jacks up while his opponent made the nut low.
