"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 7♥10♥7♦J♠.

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 A♠5♣2♠9♥ 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 A♦J♦4♠3♥ 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.

Dylan Smith: A♥10♥6♣5♣ All in
Lawrence Chang: A♠A♦J♦5♠

Chang made a full house on the J♥ turn to lock up the pot, rendering the Q♥ river meaningless and sending Smith to the exit.
