Lavenburg Sends One Home

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Michael Lavenburg raised from middle position and three players called. They saw a flop of {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and the action checked around. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and Lavenburg bet 21,000 into a main pot of about 33,000.

The player next to act moved all in for 105,000 and it folded back to Lavenburg who called, turning over {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}. His opponent showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and Lavenburg would need to fade an ace or a diamond on the river. The {5-Clubs} completed the board and Lavenburg's kings held up to earn him the pot and the knockout.
