Zhou Hits the River to Double Off Lau
Level 26
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Ka Kwan Lau raised to 1,000,000 in the hijack and Quan Zhou called in the big blind.
The flop came J♦5♠4♥ and Zhou announced pot, moving all in for his last 1,950,000. Lau called to put him at risk.
Quan Zhou: J♥10♥9♠8♠
Ka Kwan Lau: K♦Q♦Q♣2♣
Zhou had flopped top pair but needed to improve against Lau's queens. The 6♦ turn gave him outs to a straight, while the 8♣ river improved him to two pair and earned Zhou the double up.
