Guo Takes a Hit, Double for Walton

Players have wasted no time jumping into the thick of the action and there have been quite a few all-ins already. The two we caught both resulted in double-ups, but no exits.

In the first, it was China's Dong Guo opening the action with a raise to 4,000 from under-the-gun. Guo's neighbor Fuk On Wang peeked down at his cards and asked Guo how much he was playing (68,600) before moving all-in for 39,200 in total. The rest of the table got out of the way and Guo made a speedy call.

Dong Guo:
Fuk On Wang:

There's nothing like a good old-fashioned race to start the day, and it was one Wang won when the board ran out to double him up to 80,400.

We caught the tail end of another all-in confrontation over on table seven immediately afterward, arriving in time to see the USA's Austin Walton earn a full double up showing down for a set of tens to win a big pot from tablemate Zi Kun Chen, who was left with a 9,500 bowl of rice after the hand, while Walton doulbed to 70,400.
