Labat Holds For a Massive Double
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Alberto Stegeman bet 7,000 on a flop of K?6?9? in early position before Kazuhiko Yotsushika raised to 30,000 in the hijack. Antoine Labat then moved all in for 165,000 in the big blind, Stegeman folded, while Yotsushika called.
Antoine Labat: K?6?
Kazuhiko Yotsushika: A?3?
Labat was ahead with two pair but needed to dodge Yotsushika's nut flush draw with nearly 400,000 at stake. The turn 2? was safe for Labat, while the river came the 3? and Labat earned the double up to climb up among the chip leaders.
