Lau Burst the Bubble; Chassing Becomes the Bubble Boy

Alan Lau raised to 15,000 from the early position and Roland Chassing called from mid-position for his last 7,000. Action folded to Andreas Freund in the big blind who called. Lau and Freund would be playing for the side-pot which now contained 16,000.

They both checked through the whole board and had to wait for all activity on the other tables to complete. Once the other tables were done, all three players were instructed to open their cards.

Chassing flipped over for ace high with the pair of fours on the board. Freund tabled and Chassing happily slammed the table but didn't see Lau's hand who held for the flopped pair of nines. When Chassing realized what had happened and when the dealer announced that everyone else was in the money, Chassing got up from his chair while the rest of the field applauded and quickly bagged up their chips.
