1:15PM: Harada earns a pot from Lau

Alan King Lun Lau was one of those casualties at the previous flights and is back for another attempt. With two limpers before him, he raised to 650 from the button and was called by the small blind and the utg player. At the flop of [9s][5s][3s], everyone quietly checked to each other then the dealer opened up the turn card of [6s]. Action checked to Lau who bet 800. Sb player Andres Lejon folded but Harada check-raised to 2k. That was enough for the pot with Lau folding.

1:00PM: Casey re-enters then doubles up

Gerald Casey wasn't so lucky at his first table but after re-entering, he was granted a sweet double up with his pocket queens against Kunal Shetty's ace-king.
