Gonzalez's Two Pair Bests Lau's Two Pair
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ka Kwan Lau raised to 6,000 from the small blind, and Sergio Martinez Gonzalez made the call from the big blind.
The flop was 10♥8♥7♦ and Lau continued for 8,000. Gonzalez made the call.
The action went check-check on the 9♠ turn and on the Q♦ river.
When it was time to reveal the cards, Lau announced two pair, and showed the 9♣ and 8♠. Gonzalez showed the 10♣ and 8♣ for a better two pair. Lau hung onto his hand until Gonzalez revealed his entire four-card hand. The rest of the table said he should have to show all four of his cards to claim the pot. Gonzalez eventually showed the A♥ and K♦ to rake in the pot.
