Lau Dodges Zlotnikov's Draws

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Anatoly Zlotnikov checked the 6103 flop from the small blind, and Alex Foxen tossed in a bet of 16,000 in the big blind.

Ka Kwan Lau made the call before Zlotnikov announced pot to make it 110,000. Foxen folded, while Lau used two time bank cards before potting again to 392,000.

That was enough to put Zlotnikov all in, and he quickly called.

Anatoly Zlotnikov: AJ54 All in
Ka Kwan Lau: AK102

Lau had the only pair, while Zlotnikov revealed the best flush draw to go along with a straight draw. Zlotnikov watched the 9 turn and 6 river, missing all of his draws to hit the rail as Lau stacked his chips.
