Lai Got What he Asked For
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jun Lai three-bet shoved for 150,000 from the big blind after Mukhtor Nasiradinov opened from late position. Nasiradinov called to put Li at risk.
Jun Lai: A♣Q♦ 
Mukhtor Nasiradinov: Q♥Q♠
Lai was asking the dealer for an ace, but when the flop of 10♦2♠J♣ dropped he added a king to his pleas. The J♠ turn didn't help Lai, but the K♣ came on the river to give him a straight and he doubled up.
