Big Pots for Hall and Bujtas
At almost the same time on different tables, Tom Hall and Laszlo Bujtas won significant pots to build their stacks.
Hand 1
Hall raised to 56,000 from the cutoff and Bartlomiej Machon defended the big blind. On the 
flop, Machon checked and subsequently check-raised from 38,000 to 140,000, which Hall called. The 
turn saw Machon lead for 180,000 and Hall called before the 
river triggered a check by Machon.
Hall now bet 380,000 and was eventually paid off to flip over 
for trips treys as winning hand.
Hand 2
In the small blind, Bujtas raised to 82,000 and Govert Metaal came along from the big blind. The 
flop saw Bujtas continue for 60,000 and Metaal called before doing so again for 180,000 on the 
turn. Bujtas then shoved the 
river for around 700,000 and Metaal folded with less than that behind.
