The flop came 10♠8♠2♠, and Reard check-raised the continuation bet of 150,000 to 500,000 and Lau snap-mucked.
Maher Nouira opened to 240,000 from under the gun and Ka Kwan Lau defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the K♥Q♣J♠ flop leading to the 6♣ turn. Lau bet 500,000 and Nouira folded allowing Lau to take down another decent pot.
Aleksandr Shevliakov opened 250,000 in middle position and Eric Sfez defended the big blind after tanking for 45 seconds.
When the K♦8♦3♠ flop hit the felt, Sfez checked and Shevliakov continued for 175,000. Sfez thought about it for about 20 seconds before splashing a raise to 650,000 across the line. Shevliakov instantly pushed his cards into the centre.
[Removed:432] moved all in from middle position for 730,000 and found a call from Ka Kwan Lau in the big blind who had a covering stack.

Ka Kwan Lau: A♠2♦
[Removed:433] was well ahead with pocket-queens and remained so on the J♠4♥6♥8♥3♠ runout to secure a full double up, making a small dent in Lau's stack in the process.
