Lam Gets Taken Dao'n
Level 7
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
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. Dao called, and after a moment of thought Alizai called also.
The turn was the 
and Dao led out for 55,000. Alizai went into the tank but eventually folded.
Lam tabled 
for top two pair, but Dao revealed 
for a set of jacks. Lam needed to hit a king to survive but the river was the 
and he was sent to the rail.
