Budin Starts Well
Level 20
: 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
The first few hands of heads-up play saw Joshua Budin attacking and Daniel Laidlaw gave up two hands. Then, Budin raised to 32,000 and Laidlaw called. On the flop 
, Laidlaw check-called a bet of 35,000 and then check-folded the 
turn to a bet of 80,000.
One hand later, the 
flop was checked through. Laidlaw bet the 
turn for 16,000 and Budin called before facing another bet of 44,000 on the 
river. Budin called and Laidlaw showed deuces only, giving away the pot to the 
of his opponent.
