Lau Doubles Through Eldridge
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action folded to David Eldridge on the button, who raised to 115,000. Ka Kwan Lau then three-bet from the small blind to 460,000. The big blind got out of the way, and Eldridge moved all in, covering Lau's stack. Lau made the call, and the cards were turned on their backs.
Ka Kwan Lau: A♠Q♥J♥3♦ 
David Eldridge: Q♠Q♣J♣6♠
The flop gave Lau a flush draw, coming 5♥8♥6♦, and he didn't need to wait long to hit it. The turn provided the 9♥, and the inconsequential river came the 8♦.
The dealer counted down Lau's full stack, confirming it to be 770,000. A dismayed Eldridge then slid a stack of chips to his opponent, giving him a late night double-up.
