Yuguang Li Leads Final 65 into Day 3 at the ACOP Main Event

Yuguang Li (440,300) comes into Day 3 140,000 chips above the next closest stack. Li is poised to make a deep run and possibly put himself on top of the 2015 Asia Player of the Year rankings.

The 64 other players returning today will obviously have something to say about that. Christoph Vogelsang (127,100) spent most of the first two days nursing a short stack. He was even down to 2,700 before he doubled up with {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} against a player with {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

Day 1a chip leader Zhengye Yao parlayed his lead into the fourth largest stack coming into today with 266,300.

Carrying the Team PokerStars flag are; Mikhail Shalamov (161,400), Isaac Haxton (77,200), and Bryan Huang (54,300).

Haxton lost some steam late in Day 2, when he called Andy Andrejevic's (159,600) river shove. The board read {4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and Andrejevic shoved for his last 56,600. Haxton called and Andrejevic won the pot with two pair, {q-Spades}{4-Spades}.

The players will play six 90-minute levels today and the field should be into the money before the end of play today. The top 27 places will be paid, with a min-cash being worth $193,000 HKD ($24,900 USD approx)
