Lauer Scores a Double Knockout
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
A player in early position raised to 140,000 before a middle-position player put in his last 55,000. James Lauer called in the cutoff, while the big blind then moved all in for 185,000. Both the early-position player and Lauer called.
The A♠2♥5♦ flop was checked through, and Lauer then bet 400,000 on the 9♠ turn to chase away his opponent.
The middle-position player showed A♦Q♥, while the big blind had A♥K♠. Lauer, though, turned over 9♣9♦ for a turned set, and the 4♥ river secured him the double knockout.
