With a raise to 2,500 and a call before him, Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Michael Laake three-bet shoved for 22,800 from late position. The initial raiser reshoved and isolated the pot with AcQs, leading Laake’s Ah2h.

The flop came down Ks10d6d, no help to Laake. The turn was the Jd to give Laake’s opponent an ace-high straight. The river, though, was the Qh to give Laake an ace-high straight as well to chop the pot.

“You’re all in trouble now,” laughed Laake.

Michael Laake – 25,000 (25 bb)
