Malaysia's Paul Ming Juen Teoh is on the rise at the moment and has spun his 80,000 stack up to 185,000, with the majority of this coming from China's Zhong Qiang Chen.

We caught Toeh shoving into big stack Shuai Yang Qia, who peeked at his cards before folding {9-Clubs}{5-Spades} face up and leaving Toeh to collect the blinds and antes.

A decent sized pot played out on the next table over immediately after this, and we caught Yahui Xu putting a short-stacked opponent to the test for all his chips on a board of {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. There was over 100,000 already in the pot and Xu had moved all-in. His opponent only had 90,000 behind and thought long and hard, but eventually decided to wait for either a better spot, or a better hand, and folded leaving Xu to climb to 260,000 without having to showdown.

By the time we turned back around Toeh had got all the chips in against Zhong Qiang Chen and we just caught the aftermath as stacks were being counted down. The board had run out {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Chen had {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts} face up on the table beside his chip stack. While Toeh too only had ace-high the Malaysian player's kicker was better and he won the pot with {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. He also had Chen covered and the latter headed off while Toeh climbed to 185,000.
