Labat Flops Two Sets for Chip Lead
Level 21
Ante: 20,000
A♥J♦5♥2♣9♦
5♣Q♠3♦K♥6♠
Action was picked up on the turn, with both small blind Antoine Labat and big blind Daniel Walmsley having invested 50,000 each on the flop.
Labat check-raised a bet of 100,000 from Walmsley, only for the latter to move all in. Labat speedily called.
Antoine Labat: 8♠5♠5♦2♠
Daniel Walmsley: A♦K♠Q♦7♥
Labat was comfortably in the lead with a set of fives on both boards, and had to fade just four outs on each river to scoop. He did so, crossing the 2,000,000 mark.
