Lazar Doubling Up

Scott Lazar was all in preflop with two ladies by his side, {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}. His opponent held {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} and we were off to the common race situation you see so often in poker tournaments.

A race it was until the flop came down -- {Q-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Spades} -- to give Lazar a strangle hold on the hand with top set. His opponent did have some runner-runner outs though for some straights. The turn brought the {A-Diamonds} and that sealed things up. The river completed the board with the {6-Clubs}.

Lazar is now up to 36,000.
