Wu'ing a Flush
Raymond Wu flatted a preflop raise from an opponent in late-middle position on the button. The flop came down 
and the preflop raiser checked to Wu. The Team PokerStars Asia pro fired 400 and was called.
The turn card added the 
to the board and completed a club flush draw. The first player checked and then Wu fired 1,250. He was called once again.
The board was completed after the 
fell on the river. Action was checked to Wu on the final street. Wu took his time and then slid out a hefty bet of 6,675. After a few minutes in the tank, his opponent called. Wu tabled the 
for a club flush and his opponent mucked. Wu's now got about 41,000 chips and looking strong here in the early levels of Day 1a.
Putt Fires at Female Opponent
The first player to act on a flop of 
fired out a bet of 600 in a multi-way limped pot. The next player was Graeme "Kiwi G" Putt and he made the call before the few opponents folded behind him.
The turn brought the 
and the first player checked. Despite his opponent being a middle-aged woman who looked rather innocent, Putt took no mercy and fired 1,500 to take down the pot and increase his stack.
Yoon with a Preflop Three-Bet
A player limped in first position preflop and then action folded to a player in middle position. He raised to 300 before play moved around to Daren Yoon in the small blind. Yoon fired in a three-bet to 1,150. Raymond Wu folded his big blind and then the player that had limped under the gun tanked before eventually folding his hand. The first raiser also folded and Yoon scooped the pot.
Troubles for Huang
It looks like Team PokerStars Asia pro Bryan Huang is having a rough go of it here in the first couple levels of Day 1a. His starting stack of 20,000 has more-than-half been parted out and he's down to 7,000 chips.

![[user140525]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
In a big pot that took several minutes to unfold, Dao Xing Chen was deep in the tank studying a 
board. On the river, his opponent had bet 4,500 into an approximately 7,000-chip pot. While Chen tanked, Celina Lin complained to Daren Yoon, who was sitting one table over, that "We're only getting in like five hands an hour." Perhaps prompted by the complaint, Chen folded a few seconds later.
Seet Pushes Off Yoon
Action folded to Daren Yoon in middle position and he raised it up to 625. Nathanael Seet was on the button and paused for some thought when action folded over to him. Eventually, he three-bet to 2,025. The blinds folded and then Yoon was up again. He checked his stack size, but then let his hand go. Seet's up to about 27,000 chips and Yoon is on just over 28,000.
Huang Starts the Climb Back
From middle position, Bryan Huang jacked things up to 500. Only the player in the big blind made the call and the flop came down 
. The big blind checked and then Huang checked behind.
The turn put the 
on board and the big blind checked. Huang fired 500 and was called before the 
completed the board. The big blind check-called a bet of 1,500 this time from Huang. Huang held 
to beat his opponent's 
and scoop the pot.
Despite winning that pot, Huang is still down over half his stack. He's now at 9,100.
Seet Loses One
Raymond Wu raised from middle position to 550 before Nathanael Seet reraised from the button to 1,750. The woman in the big blind flat called and then Wu folded. After a flop of 
, the woman fired 3,300 into Seet. Seet tanked for a minute or two and then let his hand go. He was left with 19,000 chips.
The Incredible Shrinking Huang
Bryan Huang is hanging on for dear life. He was all the way down below 3,000 chips when he stole a few rounds of blinds. Then he open limped his button. The small blind folded, and the big blind let Huang see a free flop. It came 
, and both players checked. The turn brought the 
. and the big blind bet out 600. Huang folded, and his opponent showed him a courtesy king. Huang heads into the break with 3,675.
