Laidlaw Runs Tens Into Nuez's Kings
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
As recounted by the player, Guillermo Nuez raised to 1,000 from early position and picked up two calls before Daniel Laidlaw reraised to 6,000. Nuez moved all in for around 30,000 more and only Laidlaw called. Players flipped their cards, with Laidlaw at risk.
Daniel Laidlaw: 10♠10x
Guillermo Nuez: K♠Kx
The board ran out A♠8♠6♣4♠2♠ to give both players a flush. Nuez had the higher flush and so won the pot and near-doubled his stack. Laidlaw was eliminated from the tournament. He has since re-entered.
