Chan Flips a Coin

Terrance Chan was all in for his last 59,000 chips before the flop holding {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}, and he was looking to win a race and double up against his opponent's {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}.

Unfortunately for the soft-spoken pro, the dealer ran out an ugly board of {9-Clubs} {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {6-Spades}. A table littered with aces and kings is bad news, and Chan's day is done.

Koral Grows

It's easy to relax when you've got three times the average stack
It's easy to relax when you've got three times the average stack
With about 32,000 chips piled in the pot, we picked up the tail end of a hand with the board showing {5-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {J-Spades} {10-Diamonds}. Tom Koral was heads up with the betting lead, and he fired one last bullet of 16,000 into the middle. His opponent eventually made the call, and Koral tabled {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts} for the winning trips.

It's not the most thrilling of hands, but we figured we better introduce you to Tom Koral since he's sitting very near the top of the leader board with 285,000 chips at the moment.

Lacay Not Letting Up

We picked up a heads-up pot as the dealer spread out a flop of {10-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. Action was on Ludovic Lacay in the small blind, and he led out with a bet of 8,000. His opponent considered carefully before flicking in the call.

Fourth street came the {6-Spades}, and Lacay fired again, 14,000 this time. Another pause followed, a bit longer now, but the call came from across the table once again. The last card off was the {7-Spades} to put an open-ended straight draw on board. Lacay grabbed his whole stack of high-denomination chips and made a big covering bet. His opponent had just less than 30,000 left, and he frowned, shook his head, and sent his cards back into the muck.

Lacay - 170,000
