Warm-Up Champ the First to Go
Level 2
: 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Earlier this week Jian Yang topped a field of 338 to win the PokerStars.net Asia-Pacific Poker Tour Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP) HK$25,000 Warm-Up Event for HK$1,700,000. He decided to use some of those winnings to enter the High Roller, but it proved an unwise choice as Yang was the day's first elimination.
Unfortunately we failed to catch his bustout hand.

Big Pot for Meyers as Rathi Falls
Level 2
: 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
There was approximately 85,000 in the pot on a board reading 
when Brandon Meyers fired out a pot-sized bet from middle position. Shashank Rathi hit the tank before making the call, but mucked when Meyers rolled over the 
for two pair.
Rathi was left with just 18,000 after the hand, and we're sure it doesn't come as much of a surprise to learn that he was eliminated a few hands later.

Yong Shows the Bluff
Level 3
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
In one of the last hands before the break, we happened by the table when Wai Kin Yong, the son of high-stakes regular Richard Yong, had the all-in triangle out in front of him. The board read 
, Yong was in the big blind, and action was on Praz Bansi, who was contemplating what to do from the under-the-gun position.
Eventually Bansi released his hand and Yong couldn't help himself... he showed the 
for the bluff.
