"How Much is in the Pot?"

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

There were roughly 280,000 chips in the pot on a board of 7107J.

Jesse Stanley, who was on the button, bet 54,000. David Eller called in middle position.

When the 2 was dealt on the river, Stanley asked the dealer, "How much is in the pot?" before deciding on a bet of 200,000. Eller quickly folded.

Lau Leaves Sankari on Fumes to Cross Seven Figures

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ka Kwan Lau
Ka Kwan Lau

In a small pot of 48,000, Antoine Sankari in the small blind and Ka Kwan Lau in the big blind had reached the A529 turn. Sankari then bet 25,000, which Lau raised to 100,000.

Sankari called after some thought, seeing the 8 appear on the river. After Sankari had checked, Lau announced a pot-sized bet of 248,000. Sankari went deep into the tank, as calling would leave him with just 3,000 in chips.

Eventually, Sankari slammed in a tower of chips to call. Lau tabled AJ43 for a straight to the five, and Sankari mucked his cards in frustration.

Sankari's final chips were committed the very next hand, but he could not mount a comeback and was eliminated instead.
