Jean Luc Marais Channels Johnny Chan Circa 1988
Having been quiet since the start of Day 3, Jean Luc Marais finally made his presence known after doubling through Jonathan Lane.
Marais opened for 65,000 from the cutoff and watched Lane three-bet to 190,000 to defend his small blind. The action folded around and Marais tossed a few T25,000 chips forward for the call.
Flop: 
Lane took the initiative with the textured board and led out for 200,000. Marais took his time and deliberated for a minute or so before placing two stacks in the middle for a call.
Turn:

. Marais had ran the slowplay perfectly and trapped Lane into shoving when he could not win the pot. The meaningless river card came 
and Lane was forced to ship more than half of his stack across the table.
