Gryko Picks Off Lau
Four players checked to the turn in a limped pot with the board showing 9♠9♥Q♥8♠. Quan Zhou then bet 450,000 in the big blind and Richard Gryko called in early position.
Dirk Gerritse then raised to 1,400,000 in the small blind and Zhou and Gryko folded.
Ka Kwan Lau then raised to 600,000 under the gun and Zhou called on the button. Gryko potted to 2,500,000 in the big blind and Lau quickly folded, while Zhou burned a time bank before also folding.
The next hand, Gryko limped the small blind and Lau checked his option. Lau then bet 300,000 on the 9♦8♣3♦ flop and Gryko called.
Both players checked the 9♠ turn. Gryko then led out for 400,000 on the 7♠ river and Lau raised to 1,200,000. Gryko took a minute before calling.
"You're good," Lau said, turning over 10♥7♣5♠2♠. Gryko showed J♠J♣10♠6♥ for two pair, jacks and nines, to win the pot.
