An Embarrassing Hand for Lau

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Richard Kellett opened with a raise from the hijack seat to 1,900. Isaac Lau called in the small blind and Tully Sakellariou called in the big blind.

The flop was {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Lau checked. Sakellariou put out a bet of 2,200 and Kellett quickly folded. Lau called though and it was on to the turn.

On the {4-Diamonds} turn, both players checked. They checked again on the {K-Clubs} river. Neither player looked too particularly interested in showing down their hands and Lau finally turned up his {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} sheepishly. This prompted some laughs from Sakellariou.

"He's embarrassed to show and I was too scared to bet," Sakellariou said. He showed his {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades} for queen-high and a missed gut-shot as well, so with his jack kicker, Lau earned the pot.
