Threadgill Hits the Turn to Leave Lau on Fumes
Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jeremy Druckman limped in from under the gun and Ka Kwan Lau then raised to 225,000 in middle position. Barrett Threadgill called on the button, as did Druckman.
The flop came 10♦6♣5♦ and Lau bet 250,000. Threadgill then announced pot and Druckman folded, while Lau called all in.
Barrett Threadgill: Q♣10♥9♣8♦
Ka Kwan Lau: A♦K♦Q♦10♠
Lau was ahead with top pair and the nut flush draw, but Threadgill hit a straight on the 7♠ turn. The river 4♣ was no help to Lau, and Threadgill secured the pot.
The stacks were counted down, and Lau had Threadgill's remaining 1,110,000 covered by just 100,000.
