Mendez Laporta Building a Stack

Nick Becker

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Gustavo Mendez Laporta raised to 160,000 in middle position, and Russ Head three-bet jammed in the hijack for about 1,200,000 to put himself at risk. Mendez Laporta made the call.

Russ Head: 5♠5♦ All in
Gustavo Mendez Laporta: 9♠9♦

Head apologized in advance for the five that he predicted would appear. He was correct, but it was too little, too late, as the board ran out A♠9♥Q♦J♠5♣.
