Qiang and Phua Not Afraid to Play

The early action at the side table has been dominated by the two Chinese businessmen.
We saw Paul Phua take the first pot from Annette Obrestad, and Wang Qiang grabbing the second pot with no action, after his preflop raise.
Phil Ivey then walked through the room, and upon seeing the two full tables he said "They got a lot of people for this thing, a lot of big time gamblers here."
The next hand saw Qiang limp, and Phua make it 8,000 to go. Qiang made the call, and the two saw a 
flop. Qiang checked, Phua bet 12,000 and Qiang folded.
Phua was active again on the next hand, calling a 6,000 preflop raise from Sam Trickett. The two saw a 
flop, and after Trickett checked, Phua tossed out 13,000 getting a quick fold from Trickett.
