Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Eric Sfez limped the small blind and Ka Kwan Lau moved all-in. Sfez went deep into the tank, using three time banks before calling off his stack of about 3,000,000.

Eric Sfez: 9♠9♣
Ka Kwan Lau: 4♣3♠

The K♣6♦4♥ flop was still safe for Sfez but the 3♣ turn gave Lau two pair to take the lead. The 10♦ river was no help for Sfez though as he was sent to the payout desk in 4th place.

On the second hand of the heads up, NC limped on the button, then Ka Kwan Lau raised to 1,000,000 from the big blind. "Let's go, all in," said his opponent, pushing his 3,025,000 chips. Lau snap called.
