With 35,000 in the middle, on a board reading , Kieu Hoa Lam checked from the small blind, as did Pierre-Luc Gaudreau from the big blind and Quyen Dao in the hijack. Fakher Alizai was in the cutoff and bet 16,000. Lam check-raised all-in for 41,800 and Gaudreau went into the tank. He looked like he was torn by the decision but after about a minute he folded.
