Lagaze's Check Raise Pays Off
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Lawrence Wayne called from the cutoff, and Marc Lagaze found a call from the small blind. Matthew Parry checked from the big blind.
The flop came 5♣9♦A♥, and all three players checked around.
While the turn peeled off the J♥, Lagaze led out for 275,000. Both remaining players found the call.
The river was the 3♠, and both early players checked to Wayne. He fired for 600,000 and was quickly raised to 1,600,000 by Lagaze. Both remaining players folded for Lagaze to take the pot uncontested.
