Laura Fryer
Laura Fryer
Level 41 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Michael Monroig opened to 4,000,000 from under the gun with A♠5♦and saw two callers, one from Joseph Baghdadlian in the small blind with K♦Q♥ and one from Halford Fairchild in the big blind with K♠10♥.

The 9♣2♦A♦ flop was checked by all to see the A♥ turn and Fairchild bet 2,500,000. Monroig was the only caller and the pair went heads up to the 3♠ turn.

Fairchild checked, Monroig bet 12,000,000 and Fairchild mucked his hand.
