Sean Lai in the Early Chip Lead After Eliminating Two
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Sean Lai has been on a rollercoaster ride. In a matter of minutes, he has won two big pots and has eliminated two players.
Lai first got it all in with 
against the 
held by John Mortell on a 
board. Lai was still behind after the 
appeared on the turn, however, he eliminated Mortell when the 
gave him a straight.
Not too long later he got involved in another big pot against Lithuania's Mindaugas Gricius. With already a healthy amount of chips in the pot, Gricius bet 2,500 on a 
flop. Lai then raised to 6,000 before Gricius went all-in. Lai quickly called and turned over 
for top set while Gricius began shaking his head in disgust as he turned over 
. The 
on the turn and the 
on the river didn't help Gricius who was down below the starting stack.
After the hand, Gricius appeared dazzled and took his time to leave the table while continuing to tell Lai how lucky he was.
Meanwhile, Lai catapulted into the chip lead with 80,000 chips.
