We've seen four hands today and in three of them a player had been dealt pocket kings. In the first hand they were laid down, incorrectly we might add. In the other hands they did win the pot but we didn't see a flop in any of them. Pretty good starting hands so far, no big clashes yet.
Georgios Sotiropoulos opened the hijack to 80,000 with and was met with a call from Ka Kwan Lau on the button who held
. The small blind folded but Max Silver in the big blind wasn't. With
in hand he made it 265,000 to go.
Another big hand but yet again no big pot. Both players folded and they went on to hand number six of the day.
Georgios Sotiropoulos raised to 80,000 from under-the-gun+2 with and start of table short stack Jorma Nuutinen called from the big blind with
. On the
flop Sotiropoulos continuation bet 70,000 and he took the pot.
From under-the-gun+2 Ka Kwan Lau made it 80,000 to go with and Max Silver called from the cut-off with
.
On the flop Lau bet 105,000, "I think Max is going to peel here very often," said Stapleton and indeed Silver made the call. The
hit the turn. Lau didn't slow down he fired 210,000 into the pot and once again Silver called.
The fell on the river, "he can certainly turn his queen into a bluff, but he does have reasonable showdown value," said Stapleton. Lau came out firing though, betting 380,000. "Looks like he's done a pretty good job of putting Max to a decision here, give Lau credit for being able to bet this," said Stapleton.
Eventually Silver folded his hand and Lau took the pot.

Max Silver oepned the hijack to 80,000 with . Next door neighbor Jorma Nuutinen shoved all in from the cut off with
and all players quickly folded to let Silver have the decision again. He thought for a little bit before calling.
Nuutinen was in the lead, but not by much. The flop made things pretty scary for the Finnish player: . Kings and jacks weren't direct outs anymore for Silver, but all the clubs in the deck would guarantee him the win in the hand and the first scalp of the day.
The on the turn was a complete blank though and equity was shifting even more to Nuutinen. The black ten on the river might have scared him for a second but fortunately for him it was the
