Isaac Lau Eliminated in 10th Place (AUD$11,520)

[user80015]

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante

Isaac Lau entered the pot with a raise to 60,000 only to have Justin Cohen three-bet to 165,000.

The remainder of the players folded only to have Lau respond by instantly sliding his whole stack into the pot at a total of roughly 535,000.

Just as quickly, Cohen made the call to put the local player at risk.

Lau: {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}
Cohen: {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}

With Lau needing to fade an ace or a combination of straight and flush draws, the {A-Clubs} {3-Spades} {9-Clubs} flop was the dagger through the heart of Lau's tournament life.

Now trailing, Lau would need to catch one of the two remaining kings in the deck to keep his dream of collecting an Aussie Millions title adrift.

The {4-Hearts} on the turn, followed by the brutally close {Q-Hearts} on the river saw Lau bumped to the rail in 10th place for an AUD$11,520 payday as Cohen climbs to 1,940,000 in chips.
