Andrew Lauer Now Tied for Chip Lead After Knocking Out Marsel Backa (Shown in Bottom Left Corner) |
Level: 10
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 100
Andrew Lauer opens to 1,600 in late position. The button calls, as does Marsel Backa in the big blind.
The flop comes Q♠J♠9♦. It checks around to Lauer who bets 3,200. The button raises to 15,000, leaving himself 15,000 behind, and Backa shoves all in for around 56,000. Lauer calls as does the other player.
Lauer: K♦10♣ (straight)
Backa: A♠6♠ (flush draw)
Button: J♣9♣ (two pair)
The 7♣ turn and Q♦ river do not change the hand, and Backa is eliminated from play, as is the player on the button. Lauer is now tied for the chip lead of Flight B.
Andrew Lauer - 135,000 (168 bb)
Marsel Backa - Eliminated
