Gaston Bombs the River on Wang; Lautenbacher Can't Beat Perry
Tianle Wang raised to 300,000 under the gun and was called by Tyler Gaston in the hijack and Edouard Sacrispeyre in the big blind.
Action checked to Gaston on the A♠7♣J♥ flop, and he bet 375,000. Only Wang called.
The turn was the 3♣ and Gaston bet another 1,250,000. Wang again called and checked on the 4♦ river, and Gaston bet 3,200,000. Wang tanked for a few minutes before calling, and Gaston turned over 7♥7♦ for a set to win the big pot.
A few hands later, Cade Lautenbacher raised to 300,000 under the gun and Ralph Perry three-bet to 900,000 in middle position. Lautenbacher called, and the flop came 6♦5♥3♣.
Perry bet 700,000, and Lautenbacher called. The turn was the K♥ and Perry bet another 1,800,000.
"I can't beat you," Lautenbacher said as he folded.
"You don't even try. You have to go to the river," Perry replied as he took the pot.
