Le’s river bet scares off Gaw


The board already featured K 2 4 and a healthy pot of around 55,000 in the middle.

Postflop Andrew Gaw’s 21,000 bet was check-called by Nam Le.

Turn Q arrived and both players checked their options.

River 8 came and Le, probably smelling a weakness in Gaw’s last check, opened this time to 34,000.

Enough to force the fold from Gaw who drops to around 250,000. Le remains the chip leader after that hand with now around 550,000.
