Wald Loses Two in a Row

Morgan Wald raised to 4,400 and was called by Maksym Lavrov from two seats over. On the flop :::Qc:::As:::Ks, Wald check-called a bet of 8,000 and did so again on the :::2c turn for 19,000. The :::9d river completed the board and Wald checked for a third time, letting Lavrov bet 38,500. This time the Swede folded and immediately attacked again the next hand.

Pieter de Korver defended his big blind and then called all in after the :::2h:::Kh:::3s:::5h:::9s river for 30,000. The Dutchman had :::Qh:::3h for a flush and Wald could not beat that, losing the second hand in a row.

Morgan Wald 150,000 -40,000
Maksym Lavrov 148,000 58,000
Pieter de Korver 95,000 -8,200
