Level 9
: 800/1,600, 0 ante
We caught the action on a flop of 
in a three-way pot between Andy Lee, Daniel Laidlaw (button) and Espen Solaas (small blind).
First to act, the player in middle position had led out for a pot-sized bet of 7,000 with Laidlaw making the call. Solaas nearly timed out but decided to re-pot for 39,300 with just seconds to spare on the shot clock.
The middle position player re-potted all-in for 62,500, Laidlaw called off his remaining 35,000 and Solaas called all in for 62,200.
The player in middle position had flopped gin with 
with Laidlaw on the club flush draw holding 
while Solaas held the dominated 
for middle set and an eight-high club draw.
In a cruel twist of fate, it was Solaas with the worst hand who improved to the best after hitting the runner, runner straight when the 
came down on the turn and the 
hit the river. Laidlaw headed for the exit and Lee was left crippled with just 300 left and busted shortly afterward.
