After recently doubling up, Jacob Zalewski has given a good chunk of those chips back. In a couple of the hands that did the damage, John Monnette took a good chunk, and then Antonio Esfandiari won the following pot.
On the flop, Zalewski had called a bet of 5,300 from Esfandiari before the dealer put out the
on the turn. Both players checked to see the
land on the river, and Esfandiari bet 8,300. Zalewski called with the
, but it was no good against the
for Esfandiari.

![Brigette Lau in the $10,000 WSOP PLO tournament](https://s.pnimg.net/vVYlsnz5X4NS8_sto9SlS5IMgbqCE0VSXzk-Ddd8LRI/pr:reporting-leading-desktop/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbmlt/Zy5uZXQvbHJlcC8x/ODYxLzc0L3gyYTkz/YmMzZDZhLmpwZw.webp)
We heard "all in and a call" come from a dealer's mouth here in the Purple section of the Amazon Room. It was Brigette Lau who was all in and at risk holding on a
flop. She was in bad shape as her opponent held
.
The turn would give Lau more outs as it was the . She would survive with any seven, six, three, or deuce. The river was the
, giving Lau trip sixes and leading to a heavy sigh from the player with aces, as he had to send close to 25,000 of his stack over to Lau.

Cannuli Makes a Huge Call
We found Thomas Cannuli deep in the tank in a huge pot. The board had come , and Cannuli had 37,800 in front of him. His opponent on the button had the all in button, as well as 87,300 cut out. Cannuli tanked until Matt Affleck softly asked the dealer for the clock a few minutes after we arrived. About halfway through his final minute, Cannuli made his choice, announcing a call.
"You're an amazing player," the button said, flipping for a pair of threes.
Cannuli showed for a straight, and he dragged the massive pot, saying it was his opponents' reaction to something earlier in the hand that prompted the call.

Swedish poker pro Martin Jacobson, who finished with the Day 1a chip lead, has just jumped up and over the 300,000-chip mark thanks to this recent pot.
After a player in early position opened with a min-raise to 2,000, Jacobson reraised to 6,500 from the cutoff position with a dead button at the table. Action folded back to the original raiser, he called, and the dealer fanned out the flop. After the first player checked, Jacobson bet 7,000. He was called.
The turn was the to pair the board, and both players checked to see the
come out on the river. After the first player checked, Jacobson bet 20,000. His opponent wasted little time in making the call.
Jacobson tabled the for two pair, jacks and sevens, with a king kicker, and he won the pot.

Who's That Guy?
Eric Cloutier is being very loquacious at one of the secondary feature tables where Ryan Riess is looking to defend his title. As our reporter came over to Riess to grab his chip count, Cloutier joked, "Why you talking to him? Who's that guy?" and then referenced his stack, which was the largest at the table at 225,000 in chips.
Riess laughed, and the dealer nodded over to the banner that hung about 50 yards away bearing Riess' winner photo from last year's Main Event.
"Oh, he's that guy," said Cloutier, a sly grin coming over his face.
