Lam Stuns Kraous on the Turn
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Chau Shing Lam moved all in from the small blind and Anton Kraous called in the hijack, the two players having nearly identical stacks.
Anton Kraous: A♦10♦ 
Chau Shing Lam: A♠8♣
Both players hit a pair on the 10♠8♥7♥ flop, but Kraous remained in the lead with his tens. The turn, though, was the 8♦ to give Lam trips. Kraous failed to improve on the 5♥ river and Lam secured the pot.
The stacks were counted down and Lam had 179,000, while Kraous had 173,000 and was barely covered as the Day 1b chip leader was sent to the rail.
