Lau's Aggressive Line Wins Him the Pot

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Two players remained in the pot as the board read 2♠4♥2♣.

Ka Kwan Lau in the big blind check-raised the continuation of Johann Ibanez in the cutoff from 30,000 to 90,000. Ibanez called.

The turn brought the 10♦ and Lau bet again for 150,000. Ibanez was undeterred.

The 6♠ on the river saw Lau shove all in for the remainder of his stack, more than enough to put Ibanez at risk for his tournament life. After much deliberation, Ibanez folded.

With 99,000 in the middle, the board read 7♦7♠3♥3♠, and Dylan Weisman checked to Jose Castillo, who pushed out a bet of 35,000. Sonny Franco called, and Weisman check-raised to 140,000. Only Castillo called.

The 9♠ completed the board, and Weisman announced a pot-sized bet of 414,000, putting Castillo to the test for most of his chips. About four minutes went by before a tablemate called the clock.

The floor man came to the table and gave a countdown from 30 seconds. The entire 30 seconds went by, and Castillo's hand was declared dead as the dealer pushed the pot to Weisman.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Six players limped in from various positions to see a flop of 2♣Q♠9♦. Action checked around to Maurice Kraiem who bet 85,000 from the cutoff. Action then folded around to Anthony Hu who announced "pot" from the big blind, folding out all other players except for Kraiem and committing 336,000 of his 348,000 stack. Kraiem raised to put Hu all in and Hu quickly called, putting himself at risk.

Anthony Hu: A♣Q♥2♠2♦
Maurice Kraiem: Q♣J♠9♠3♣

Hu's bottom set was ahead of Kraiem's two-pair and remained so on the 8♠ turn and 3♦ river. Hu dragged in a major pot while Kraiem was left short-stacked.

Florencio Bunal limped under the gun. Roman Verenko in the cutoff raised to 55,000. Adam Hendrix called from the small blind and Bunal tagged along.

The flop came 2♥A♥5♠. Once checked to, Verenko continued for 65,000 and both players called.

The 7♥ fell on the turn. Hendrix checked once again while Bunal now chose to move all in for his last 173,000. Verenko folded and the decision was back on Hendrix. After some time in the tank, Hendrix folded sending the pot to Bunal.

Bunal showed Q♥8♥ as he raked in the pot, visibly frustrating Hendrix.

Ziegelbecker tabled K♦K♠9♣7♦ for a full house and Soverel mucked his hand.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was picked up preflop. Chip leader stanislav Halatenko had three-bet an open from Alan Reyf to 150,000 and Reyf had responded by moving all in for approximately 260,000. Halatenko asked for a count and made the call not long after to put his opponent at risk.

Alan Reyf: A♠Q♠Q♥2♠
Stanislav Halatenko: K♠Q♦10♦4♠

The board ran out 5♥J♦2♣10♥7♦. Reyf's pair of queens were still good at showdown resulting in him receiving a full double up through Halatenko.

Despite the minor setback Halatenko still holds a commanding lead over the rest of the field.
