Isaac Lau raised to 15,000 from the cutoff before Dean Blatt re-raised to 55,000 from the big blind. Lau then moved all in for 247,000 which had Blatt covered by 6,000. Blatt announced that he would call once the other tables completed their hand which he did.

Isaac Lau: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Dean Blatt: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades} to see Lau spike and ace on the flop and take down the pot with a higher two-pair.

The remaining 24 players in today's field have all just guaranteed themselves a $9,426 payday.
