Laszlo Bujtas

Laszlo Bujtas opened to 9,000 in early position and Galen Hall flatted on his left. Vinodan Lingham three-bet to 30,000 ono the button and Bujtas four-bet shoved all in for 184,500. Hall used some time before making the call and Lingham was forced to fold.

Laszlo Bujtas: K♣K♦All in
Galen Hall: J♠J♦

The flop came A♥6♠5♣ which got a reaction out of Lingham who appeared to hit his ace. However, the 7♠ and 10♣ runout was safe for Bujtas who doubled through Hall.

Just before the break, Danny Tang and Kai Cohen were conversing about who their poker idol was and Cohen brought up Phil Hellmuth.

"Positivity," Brek Schutten said from across the table.

"Don't even put me in the same conversation as him," Tang replied. "I respect his achievements and whatnot, but his antics at the table are a bad look."

Tang proceeded to raise to 7,000 from under the gun, claiming that he was now on tilt. Schutten called from a couple of seats over and Cohen three-bet to 33,000 from the big blind. Both Tang and Schutten called.

The flop came 10♦6♠5♦ and the rumbling over Hellmuth came to a halt as the action checked to Schutten who bet 35,000. Cohen called and Tang got out of the way.

The turn was the J♣ and both players checked to the A♦ on the river. Cohen led out with a bet of 42,500 and Schutten raised to 140,000. Cohen instantly folded and Schutten dragged in the pot just before the break.
