Lau Back in the Driver Seat
Level 31
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez raised the pot to 1,500,000 with the Q♣J♠9♣6♣ and Ka Kwan Lau defended the 10♥10♣8♠4♥ out of the big blind, which led them to the J♥10♠9♥ flop. Both checked to the 6♠ turn on which Lau bet 2,500,000 and Martinez Gonzalez called.
That led them to the 3♣ river and Lau fired another bet worth 4,500,000 into a pot of 8,500,000. Martinez Gonzalez reluctantly called and lost another big chunk of his stack to fall further behind.
