Lache Survives on the River
Level 25
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of K?Q?3?, Vlad Lache bet 900,000 from middle position and Mustapha Kanit called in the big blind.
Lache bet another 2,400,000 on the 5? turn, but this time Kanit came back with an all-in shove. Lache burned through multiple time banks and took several minutes before committing his last 7,200,000.
Lache showed A?A?, but he had been outdrawn by Kanit's K?Q? for top two pair. "Five," Lache pleaded, but the 3? was just as good as Lache made a better two pair to double up.
