Jason Lau Bursts the Bubble

Jason Lau raised to 50,000 from the button, only to face a three-bet shove from Chong Yeow Chung in the big blind for ~800,000. Lau called, and they waited for other High Roller tables to finish before tabling their hands:

Jason Lau: A Q

Chong Yeow Chung: K Q

Lau held the lead, but a loss would burst the bubble, leaving him just shy of the money.

The dealer revealed the 8 K 4 flop, handing Chung top pair. Lau stood, needing two running hearts or an Ace to survive.

The 8 turn offered no help, and the 5 river sealed his fate.

Lau left the venue, with 55 players now in the money.
