Gao Down and Out, Yim and Leow Up

Last time we walked passed Wenling Gao's table she was raking in a pot having just doubled up. However, the next time we passed by her seat was empty and she has just bought into the HKD $20,000 King Size Stack Side Event.

Another player whose stack is moving in the right direction is frontrunner Ivan Leow, who seems to be stacking up chips and raking in pots every time we walk by his table and the Malaysian player is now up to 444,000.

Timothy Yim's stack also had an upward trajectory, with the Hong Kong player winning a big pot from tablemate Ying Wang. It was a pre-flop three-bet flop and while we do not know exactly when all the chips went in, we do know that Yim was the man to win. The community cards were spread and despite flopping top pair and turning the nut flush draw holding , Wang has lost out to Yim's with the Hong Kong player making the Broadway straight on the turn.
