We came to the action with a flop showing and Koray Turker in a hand against Marcus Lau.
Lau checked the play to Turker who thre in 32,000. At this point Lau raised to 84,000 which was almost half his stack. Turker asked how much Lau had behind and then announced he was all-in. Turker, with a monster stack, had Lau well covered.
Lau then proceeded to ask Turker many questions, before folding his hand and sending the pot to Turker.
As Turker raked in the pot he shoed the , leaving lau to wonder.
With under ten minutes before the first break of the day we are approaching the money bubble.
There are at least three players siting behind stacks of around 10 big blinds and they will need to get a move on or they will be going home empty handed after three days of intense poker.
Folded to Michael Frydman in the small blind and with Tony Hachem in the big blind, Frydman raised it to 10,000. Hachem then quickly slid in a large stack of 5,000 denomination chips, with enough to cover Frydman. Frydman snap-called and the players turned their hands over.
Frydman:
Hachem:
The board ran out , the king on the turn saving Frydman and putting a dent in Hachem's stack.
Marcus Lau raised to 9,500 from under the gun, which Ivan Zalac three-bet to 18,000 from the button. A call from Lau would see hit the flop.
Lau then check-called a bet of 22,000 from Zalac and the fell on the turn. This time Lau would opt for the check-raise, making it 56,000 after Zalac's bet of 28,000.
A call from Zalac would see the on the river and a check from both players.
Lau turned over for two-pair, while Zalac held the bigger two-pair, catching up on the river.
