Laudam Takes Down Massive Pot Without Showdown
The action started with Robin Ylitalo who raised to 4,200 after which Nelson Vaz Da Silva three-bet to 12,100. The action was folded to Patric Laudam who four-bet to 27,000 from the big blind and Ylitalo folded right away.
Vaz Da Silva tanked for a while but eventually he made the call creating a serious pot as the flop wasn't even on the table yet.
The flop brought 
and Laudam fired out 18,400 which was quickly called by Vaz Da Silva.
On the turn the 
hit and Laudam grabbed chips again. The German player bet 36,000 this time and was instantly raised to 100,000 by Vaz Da Silva. This big raise instigated a long tanking session by Laudam who ultimately moved all in for 135,800 total.
Vaz Da Silva had to call just 35,800 and a lot of players were left in amazement when the Portuguese player quickly folded. Laudam is now one of the chip leaders while Vaz Da Silva was left behind with a small stack.
