Lazar Lays it Down

Ariel Abbatiello opened to 12,000 under the gun, and Jeremy Maher made the call behind him. Action got back to Scott Lazar in the small blind, who put in a three-bet to 53000. Abbatiello took a moment to decide, then went all in. Maher folded.

Lazar asked for a count, and after a bit of deliberation, the total was said to be 296,000. Lazar covered, but his decision was not an easy one as he went deep into the tank. A crowd started to form around the table, and after around three minutes he laid it down.

Abbatiello placed his cards in front of Lazar, and let him pick one to flip. The K♠ was revealed.
