Wenling Gao is not getting the start she wanted to her Day 2 and has dropped down the counts. One of the beneficiaries of Gao's fall is Xiabo Zhou who ha just padded out his stack some at the former's expense.
It was Zhou driving the action with a pre-flop raise to 6,000 from early position, with Gao defending from the big blind. The 
flop saw Gao check the action over to Zhou, who really looked like he hated the ace.
There was no action on the 
turn either. The 
river saw Zhou eke out a little bit of value with a 4,000 bet after Gao checked for the third time, and then made the call.
Zhou rolled over 
, which were good with Gao mucking and Zhou raking in the pot to climb to 98,000 while Gao fell to 36,000. However, she is doing better than Carson Wong and Dmitry Rabotkin, who are both bust and are on the waiting list for the cash games.

Jin Tiang got all the chips in pre-flop from the blinds over the top of an Andy Chan open and found herself behind and her tournament life at risk.
Jin Tiang: 
Andy Chan: 
The 
flop gave Tiang some gutshot outs to go with her one overcard, and while the 
turn was of no help, the 
double paired the river to counterfeit Chan's pocket tens. The Hong Kong player let out a big groan and counted out the chips to pay Tiang off, and she stacked her ill-gotten gains with a grin that would put a Cheshire cat to shame.

Zhuo Zeng's reading skills must be on point, because he just managed to fold pocket queens preflop to a four-bet...and was dead on.
Sihai Jiang had opened under the gun and when it folded to Zeng in the small blind he three-bet to 16,200. Back to Jiang, he four-bet it 40,100 and this sent Zeng into the tank. The clock was eventually called on him, and in the end he'd fold 
face up.
Perhaps out of courtesy, perhaps out of sheer respect for the fold, Jiang showed 
, confirming that Zeng had made a good laydown.

Thailand's all-time money winner Phanlert Sukonthchartnant opened the hijack to 5,200 and was flatted by Shizi Xiao in the cutoff. Alvan Zheng looked down at something he liked on the button and shoved for 37,300, which Sukonthchartnant would call. Now the decision was on Xiao.
He clearly liked his hand, too. About a minute went by before he started turning around to try and get a look at the tournament screen. Unfortunately for Xiao, the angle wasn't right and he was forced mid-hand to leave his seat and go up for a closer look. Whatever he saw on that screen, it would lead him to eventually fold.
Sukonthchartnant flipped 
but that was crushed by Zhang's 
. The cowboys held after the 
runout, bringing Zheng up to 73,000 and dropping Sukonthchartnant to 140,000.

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.
