Lau Rivers Double-Up
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Day 1 Chipleader Ka Kwan Lau raised to 140,000 on the button. Frank Crivello quickly moved all in from the big blind, and Lau called off his stack of 425,000.
Ka Kwan Lau: Q♣J♥7♥6♣ 
Frank Crivello: K♠K♥2♥4♥
Lau flopped a pair on A♦7♦4♦ for some help, and the 8♥ turn gave him a straight draw as well. The J♣ river made him two pair, beating the kings of Crivello and doubling up.
