Li Out, Zhenyu Up, Paik In

We cruised by Wenling Gao's table to see how she was getting along, and the answer is, pretty well, and Gao has chipped up to 62,000. While we were unable to catch her in action we were rewarded with an interesting hand that played out between Wilson Li and Song Zhenyu.

When we arrived the small blind had a single yellow 1k chip out in front of him on the felt, and cards in hand and was facing a decision as big blind Wilson Li was all in for his last 10,000. Song Zhenyu was also all-in for 20,000 sitting under-the-gun, and the small blind was considering his options. Eventually, he decided on the safer one and folded and the cards were revealed.

Wilson Li:
Song Zhenyu:

Li was all out of luck and the run out came to bring his Day 1B to a close and bring Zhenyu back up to starting stack.

Gao is not the only High Roller finalist in the running today and we spotted third-place finisher Albert Paik in the field, and he has evidently been busy as is sitting on a stack of 57,000.
