Lau Shows a Winner, Luo Eliminated

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Four-way action to the 81025 turn saw Ngoc-Loan Duong check from the big blind. Brian Lau followed with a check in middle position, and Vincent Pistorino slid out a bet of 6,100 in the hijack.

Phillip Phan folded from the cutoff, as did Duong. Lau made the call, and checked again on the 4 river. After taking some time, Pistorino opted to check back.

Lau tabled 33 for a pair of threes, taking down the pot as Pistorino mucked.

At a nearby table, Brian Luo got his stack in the middle with K10, but ran into the KK of Christopher O'Neil to hit the rail.
