Lai's Attempt at a Second Bag Ends Early

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Kwok Chun Lai bagged on Day 1b, but with only 21,700, he decided to try to get through Day 1c with a bigger stack. Those hopes are over after he faced a bet of 11,225 into a pot of about 17,000 on a board of {3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{a-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Lai tanked awhile from the button and then called off most of his stack but couldn't beat the {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} shown down by Dosun Park.

The next hand, Lai got his last 2,100 in but lost with {a-}{7-} to his neighbor's {a-}{10-}.
