Gu Edges In Front
While Huidong Gu was the shortest stack when the players returned from the break he ahs been a busy bunny and has just taken down three sizable pots in quick succession to usurp Sukonthachartnant’s lead.
The first win was without showdown with Chung Yuan Yu opening the action with a raise to 28,000 from the button. Gu re-raised to 78,000 from the big blind and Yu quickly folded, although Gu obligingly flashed the 
to maintain his credibility.
The second hand played out directly afterward, with Gu making it 27,000 from the small blind and Liang Yu choosing to defend from the big blind.
The 
flop saw Gu recheck his cards before he decided the right amount to bet was 33,000, Yu responded with a quick re-raise to 100,000 and Gu quickly moved all-in for 353,000 in total.
Liang Yu folded immediately and Gu raked in another. The next hand it was Gu’s turn to play the button and he made it 28,000 to go with Chung Yuan Yu making the call from the big blind.
Yu check called Gu’s 27,000 c-bet on a flop of 
and the 
hit the turn. This brought a second check from Yu and a sizable 120,000 bet from Gu, which was enough to get Yu to fold. Gu obligingly lashed 
for a flopped two pair.
