This is Lai's Moment
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
"Yes!" someone shouted in the Bronze section of the Horseshoe Events Center. After arriving at Table 603, it was Jun Lai who had his hands in the air with all of his chips in the middle. However, the hand wasn't finished and his opponent, Michael Thompson, was still drawing live.
The board read A♥9♦6♣J♣ and Lai was indeed ahead with A♠J♠ for two pair but Thompson held A♣K♣ for a possible better two pair along with a flush draw. Lai was out of his seat already when the 7♦ completed the board.
"Yes!" Lai shouted again. "This is my moment!"
"Nice hand," Thompson acknowledged despite being dwindled down to just over 10 big blinds.
