Lau Wins Multi-way

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We picked up the action in a multi-way pot that turned out to be quite an exciting one. The action was five-way when we arrived, with a flop of {3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} spread out and a substantial amount in the pot already.

China’s Xixiang Luo was sitting under-the-gun and after Malaysia’s Marcus Lau (small blind) checked, Luo led out for a roughly half-pot sized bet of 8,000. A player seated under-the-gun made the call, France’s Fredric Stephan (cutoff) and Taiwan’s Pete Chen (button) folded and the action was back on Lau, who called.

The {9-Clubs} turn saw Lau check again and Luo bet big, sliding out a bet of 24,300 and while this was enough to get the other caller out of the way it did not deter Marcus Lau, who check-raised all-in for 32,200 in total.

Luo didn’t look as though he liked it but called off the extras and Lau flipped over {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the stone cold nuts. A disgruntled Luo tabled {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and was already drawing dead. The {2-Clubs} river saw the massive pot shipped Lau’s way and he climbed to roughly 110,000 while Luo dropped to 45,500.
