Zlotnikov Falls to Lau

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Anatoly Zlotnikov
Anatoly Zlotnikov

Anatoly Zlotnikov raised to 2,000 from under the gun, and Ka Kwan Lau three-bet to 6,900 in the cutoff. Tom Vogelsang called in the big blind, and Zlotnikov called too.

Vogelsang checked on the 497 flop, but Zlotnikov opted to bet pot, putting 21,500 into the middle. Lau potted it again, Vogelsang folded, and Zlotnikov called, putting him all in for roughly 90,000.

Anatoly Zlotnikov: 10865 All in
Ka Kwan Lau: AJ109

Zlotnikov had a huge wrap against Lau's pair of nines and gutshot. The board was completed by the Q turn and the Q river, missing all of his outs and eliminating Zlotnikov.
