Joseph Cheong: 
Ka Kwan Lau: 
Evangelos Kokkalis: 
An action flop of 
hit the felt providing each of the players with a little bit of something. However, the 
on the turn gave Kokkalis a straight, leaving both of his opponents drawing extremely thin. The 
on the river only improved Kokkalis to a straight, eliminating both Cheong and Lau.
