Lau Doubles Up Hauptman

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Michael Hauptman pushed all-in for 182,000 from the under the gun position and King Lun Alan Lau reraised all-in from middle position. Every other player folded and the cards went on their backs.

Michael Hauptman: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
King Lun Alan Lau: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The flop was {9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, but the turn was a pretty sick {6-Clubs}. The river was the {J-Spades} and Lau couldn't catch up to Hauptman's set.
