Action folds to David Laufer in the hijack and he raises to 11,000. Devin Sweet calls from the cutoff but Aaron Motoyama wants to play for more and three-bets to 40,000 from the button. Laufer thinks for a moment and then decides to four-bet jam all in. Sweet gets out of the way and Motoyama tables Heart AClub A before throwing his chips in the middle to call for 180,000.

Laufer reveals Heart 10Club 10 and Motoyama is in a good position to double through early on Day 2. Unfortunately for him, the dealer fans the Diamond 10Heart 7Diamond 5 flop and Laufer flops top set to take a commanding lead. The turn is the Heart 4 and the river is the Heart 5 to send Motoyama to the rail.

Frank Stepuchin is at the table and chimes in, “He jinxed himself! He tabled his hand like ‘in your face, b*tch!'”

David Laufer – 400,000 (80 bb)
