Liu Rails One, Zhang Rails Another
There have been two more quick bust outs to bring the field down to 76 meaning players are now 13 bustouts away from making the business end of the tournament.
While we do not know the names of the two unfortunates to his the rail, being as their day is done it makes more sense to tell you who the victors were, being as they'll be sticking around for a while longer.
Tianyou Liu is keeping his Main Event hopes alive, winning a race with 
against an adversary's pocket fives to send his opponent to the exit and chip up to 165,000 after hitting an ace on the river when the board ran out 
.
Wayne Zhang is another player who will be sticking around for a while longer, having just spiked a set of nines to bust another player who headed for the rail in a hurry. That pot brought Zhang's stack up to 345,000.
However, the man to catch is still China's Yan Shun Feng, who has over 900,000 in chips. Feng always seems to be scooping pots when we wander by, but we are always too late to catch him in action.
Feng's next closest rival looks to be Shuai Yang Qia who has 475,000 and with the average stack coming in at just over 200,000, that gives Feng quite the chip lead. Other notables with decent sized stacks include Phanlert Sukonthachartnant (425,000), China's Hao Chen (365,000) and Ivan Leow is still up there, but has dropped down to 310,000.
