Ka Kwan Lau
Ka Kwan Lau

Jack Sinclair raised to 11,000 on the button before Ka Kwan Lau slid in a three-bet to 45,000 from the small blind.

The 3 turn saw Lau lead out for 60,000 and Sinclair made the call. The river K completed the board, where Lau used a time bank before checking. Sinclair moved all in for around 200,000 and Lau called instantly.

Jack Sinclair: J10
Ka Kwan Lau: AK

Jack Sinclair tapped the table after seeing his opponent's flush, while the pot saw Lau become the first player to cross the 1,000,000 chip mark.

Pop Takes From Arnold

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alejandro Arnold opened to 11,000 first-to-act and was called by Danilo Velasevic in the small blind and Catalin Pop in the big blind.

Action checked to Arnold on the 7J6 flop and he continued for 20,000. Only Pop called.

Pop then led out for 26,000 when the 7 paired the board and Arnold called.

Both players checked down on the 6 river and Pop showed J3 for jacks-up. Arnold couldn't beat it and sent his hand into the muck.

No Split To Save Calderone

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ramin Hajiyev in the hijack opened to 11,000, then saw Eros Calderone moving all in for 110,000 chips from the small blind. Hajiyev didn't wait and made the call.

Eros Calderone: A10
Ramin Hajiyev: AQ

On the edge of elimination, Calderone stood up and was ready to leave after the flop 933. However, he sat back down when the 9 came on the turn, knowing he could chop the pot with two pairs on the board and his ace.

But the terrible A landed on the river, giving two pairs with a better kicker to Hajiyev. Calderone stood up again and left the tournament area in 276th place for €10,200.

Rocha Spikes a Jack

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Nicholas Palma opened to 10,000 in middle position and Mark Vronskii called in the cutoff before Lucas Silva Rocha three-bet jammed for around 40,000 in the big blind. Palma folded and Vronskii called with a bigger stack.

Lucas Silva Rocha: AJ
Mark Vronskii: AK

"Oh, not like this!" Palma cried.

The flop of 877 didn't change much but Rocha pushed his jack toward the board right before the dealer put down the J to give him the lead.

John Juanda tried to help Vronskii by pushing his king toward the board but it didn't help as the 4 river confirmed a double for Rocha.

"Ouch," Juanda said quietly.
