Luyckx Takes a Hit, Chan Running Hot

We caught Belgium’s Bart Luyckx in action in a three-way hand on the flop with the board reading just as Luyckx led for 2,500 from middle position into the 5,000 pot.

Malaysia’s Kok Wei, sitting in the hi-jack, made the call and the big blind folded taking the action heads-up to the turn. Luyckx slowed down and checked, but Wei showed no such restraint, making it 3,700, which Luyckx called.

The river saw Luyckx check again and Wei fired for 6,000.

Luyckx dropped to19,300 after that little misadventure while Wei now had 34,700.

Immediately after this, we caught Hong Kong’s Justin Chan embroiled in a pot against another player. The action was on the flop and while we do not know who shoved first both players were all in already with the board reading .
