Lu Anton Breaks A Million

Level 17: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Lu Anton Zhen Zhao

Under the gun kicks off the action with a raise to 22,000 and takes two players to the flop 2♦ K♠ 4♣ . Checked to Yang Zhihua in +2, 33,000 go in the middle and only big blind Lu Anton calls for the turn A♠ to be revealed. Another check call for 70,000 takes us to the river 2♥ where Yang Zhihua bets 270,000 in a last ditch effort to wrestle the pot his way, but Lu Anton makes a great call with second pair K♥ T♥ to catapult himself into second place.
