Lau Busts Dong to Take Lead
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Cheng Dong and Sio Fat Lat became involved in a raising war that saw all the chips find their way into the middle pre-flop, with Lau the man to pull the trigger first.
We turned up just as Dong moved all-in as a three-bet over the top of a Lau big blind re-raise with the Macanese player making a quick call and the cards were turned over.
Cheng Dong: 
Sio Fat Lau: 
Dong was the at-risk player and would need some help, which he duly received when the flop fell 
to give him top pair. Unfortunately, the 
turn put Lau firmly in front and left Dong drawing dead. The 
river was merely a formality and the field is now down to 12. That pot saw Lau edge into the chip lead with a stack of 57,000.
