Lau's Aggressive Line Wins Him the Pot
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Two players remained in the pot as the board read 2♠4♥2♣.
Ka Kwan Lau in the big blind check-raised the continuation of Johann Ibanez in the cutoff from 30,000 to 90,000. Ibanez called.
The turn brought the 10♦ and Lau bet again for 150,000. Ibanez was undeterred.
The 6♠ on the river saw Lau shove all in for the remainder of his stack, more than enough to put Ibanez at risk for his tournament life. After much deliberation, Ibanez folded.
