Lau Doubles Twice To Leave Two Short

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ka Kwan Lau moved all in preflop and was at risk vs Robert Paddock.

Paddock was looking for his aces to hold up as he held the {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Spades} vs the {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} of Lau.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{j-Diamonds} to send Lau into the lead, the turn was the {j-Spades} to give Lau a boat and the river improved his boat even further as the {9-Diamonds} came off and Paddock was left very short.

A couple of hands later, Lau was facing a decision on the flop of {6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} in a three-way pot. Joao Vieira bet the pot for 480,000 from the big blind. Lau took quite a while before raising all in from early posiiton. David Benyamine made a reluctant fold from the cutoff.

Lau had the {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{5-Diamonds} vs the {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} of Vieira, this time hoping for aces to hold for him.

The turn was the {j-Spades} and the river came the {2-Diamonds} to keep the aces in the lead and Lau collected another huge double to surge in chips in the course of two hands.
