flop was checked to Epstein and he bet 450,000 to shut down all further resistance.
James Chen then raised to 250,000 first to act and Erik Seidel came along out of the big blind. Seidel check-called 150,000 on 
, the 
turn was checked and Seidel bet the 
river to force an instant fold from Chen.
Lau raised the button to 270,000 next and Chen called out of the big blind. The flop brought 
and Chen checked, then called a bet of 175,000. No betting action took place on the 
turn and Chen led the 
river for 650,000. Lau called rather quickly and was shown the 
for a flopped full house by Chen.
