Lau Can't Catch a Break
Level 30
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez opened to 1,200,000 with A♥K♥7♥2♠ and Ka Kwan Lau made the call with A♦K♠6♦3♦.
The duo checked through the flop of A♣2♣4♥ and went straight to the 7♠ turn, which saw a bet of 1,800,000 from Lau with his pair of aces and Martinez Gonzalez made the call with his two-pair of aces and sevens.
The river came the 4♦ to pair the board and Lao fired again for 1,800,000 and Martinez Gonzalez thought about it for a second before he made the call with the superior hand.
"Ace-king," Lao announced as he showed his hand but was then shown the bad news by Martinez Gonzalez to win him the pot, widening the gap between the two.
