flop for 31,500 with a pot of 120,000 already in the middle. Laidlaw tank-called, knowing he was well behind.

turn.
Lee: 
Laidlaw: 
Laidlaw had two pair and needed to dodge clubs in order to bust his opponent, which indeed happened as the river was a blank.

On the heads-up flop of , Nikolaos Solomos was all in for his last 12,000 chips. The pot was almost three times of that and Billy Argyros, who had just won a pot without showdown by shoving and showing two pair, eventually called. "I wish you had more chips, so I don't have to call," Argyros said.
Solomos: for the nut straight
Argyros: 
for a pair of kings
There was no runner runner miracle, the board completed with the turn and to let Solomos double up.
