Lau and Chen Get Moving Quickly

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Alan Lau and Pete Chen just finished up in the High Roller, where each player bagged chips to make it through Day 1. They're going to try to make it two bags in a day, as each player, known as one of Asia's finest tournament grinders, entered the Main Event before the close of registration.

Both have advanced past the starting stack already, making up for lost time.

In Lau's case, we found him looking at a board of {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} with {k-Spades}{9-Spades} on the felt in front of him. Jesse Rosen's cards were in the muck, and since Lau had his 26,700 covered, he wished everyone remaining good luck.
