Lau and Scalzi Boost Their Stacks

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

A trio has emerged at the top of the counts in Alan Lau, James Romero and Antonio Scalzi.

Lau won a pot in which he fired two barrels worth 4,000 on the {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop and 13,000 on the {j-Hearts} turn. The {2-Hearts} river was checked and his opponent showed {6-Spades}{4-Spades}, which Lau had beat with the {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Scalzi won a pot off Jason Wheeler to boost his stack. The completed board showed {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Scalzi bet 8,000 into 11,000. Wheeler raised to 25,000 and Scalzi moved all in to force a reluctant fold from Wheeler.
