Mio is a Cat With Many Lives
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Hani Mio pushed all-in for 420,000 with the flop showing J♠8♥7♥ and Ka Kwan Lau asked for the size of the pot, which was 460,000 by then. Once it was confirmed that Mio was all-in, Lau prepared calling chips and Mio instantly gave away the impression of suddenly not wanting a call.
Lau, however, made the call and the cards were on their backs.
Hani Mio: 9♠9♥5♠5♥
Ka Kwan Lau: A♠K♠Q♦10♣
The 2♣ turn and 8♠ river changed nothing, and since Lau didn't have any pair, the pocket nines of Mio were good enough for the double despite missing his combo draw.
