Christian Zetzsche

Niveau 27 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Quan Zhou added some chips with a preflop raise and forcing a fold from Sergio Martinez Gonzalez.

Up next, Ka Kwan Lau opened to 550,000 and Firas Kashat raised all in for around 1,800,000 from the button for Lau to call.

Firas Kashat: A♣Q♠5♠3♣
Ka Kwan Lau: 7♣6♣5♥3♥

"We are in good shape," Kashat told friends on the rail who had gathered after the dinner break.

The flop brought 6♠6♦4♣ to give Lau trips with a wrap and Kashat instantly added "no, we are fucked."

The 5♦ turn improved Lau to a full house and left Kashat drawing dead to make the 9♣ river a formality.
