Tang Tested

Zhang Li Fen put Danny Tang through the ringer just now, pressuring him with a decision for his tournament life.

Fen opened to 9,000 on the button after action had folded to him, and Tang three-bet it to 26,500 from the small blind. Back to Fen, he made the call and the dealer spread a flop. Tang decided not to continuation bet, and checked it to Fen who instantly announced all-in. He had the bigger stack, so this bet was for all of the 70,000 Tang had behind.

He thought. Then he thought some more. Then the two players started talking (in Chinese of course, so sorry for the lack of transcript). The clock was eventually called on Tang, and after around 30 seconds he laid it down.

Fen increases his stack to 371,000 after that one. And speaking of increasing stacks, Yan Shun Feng has now overtaken Ivan Leow at the top of the counts, currently sitting with 500,000.
