Lau Wins Multi-way
We picked up the action in a multi-way pot that turned out to be quite an exciting one. The action was five-way when we arrived, with a flop of 
spread out and a substantial amount in the pot already.
China��s Xixiang Luo was sitting under-the-gun and after Malaysia��s Marcus Lau (small blind) checked, Luo led out for a roughly half-pot sized bet of 8,000. A player seated under-the-gun made the call, France��s Fredric Stephan (cutoff) and Taiwan��s Pete Chen (button) folded and the action was back on Lau, who called.
The 
turn saw Lau check again and Luo bet big, sliding out a bet of 24,300 and while this was enough to get the other caller out of the way it did not deter Marcus Lau, who check-raised all-in for 32,200 in total.
Luo didn��t look as though he liked it but called off the extras and Lau flipped over 
for the stone cold nuts. A disgruntled Luo tabled 
and was already drawing dead. The 
river saw the massive pot shipped Lau��s way and he climbed to roughly 110,000 while Luo dropped to 45,500.
