Yifan Zheng Leads the Final Table; Team Online's Randy Lew Lurking
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
It was a quick Day 4 in the 2013 PokerStars.net Asia-Pacific Poker Tour Macau Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP) HK$100,000 Main Event at the PokerStars LIVE at the City of Dreams. It took less than six hours for the field to whittle itself down from 25 to the final table of nine.
Yifan Zheng has the best shot at the HK$4,752,000 first-place prize after emerging as the chip leader, but he has some stiff competition in the form of PokerStars Tem Online’s Randy Lew, who is seeking his second title in Macau.
The day kicked off with a bang as both Edward Yam and Stephane Blouin fell right out of the gate. After Jim Sue Pan followed them out the door in 23rd place, Team Online's Naoya Kihara was sent to the rail.
It happened in Level 17 (2,000/4,000/500) when Aidan Tam opened for 8,000 from the cutoff and Kihara three-bet jammed for 49,000 from the button. The blind folded and Tam made a quick call.
Tam: 
Kihara: 
Kihara's face seemed to indicate that he knew his number had been called, and he seemed resigned to his fate after the 
flop failed to deliver him options. The 
turn meant he would need to catch a queen on the river to survive, but it wasn't in the cards as the useless 
peeled off. Naoya took home HK$198,000 for his 22nd-place finish.
From there the eliminations continued to mount and included Yujung Choi (21st - HK$198,000), Jan Bendik (20th - HK$198,000) and Satrya Teja (19th Place - HK$247,500).
In Level 18 (2,500/5,000/500), Teja, who if you recall finished as the chip leader at the end of Day 1b, moved all in for 49,000 under the gun and cleared the field to Chane Kampanatsanyakorn, who made the call from the cutoff. The rest of the field got out of the way and the cards were turned up.
Teja: 
Kampanatsanyakorn: 
It was a classic flip, and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Kampanatsanyakorn was a 53.71% favorite while Teja would survive 45.92% of the time. The 
flop didn't hit Teja directly, but it did deliver him a flush draw to go with his overs, which made him a 52.32% favorite.
The 
turn was no help, and Kampanatsanyakorn jumped back into the lead with a 65.91% chance of ending with the best hand. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
. Teja missed and finished in 19th place for HK$247,500.
From there, Ling Tong (18th - HK$247,500), Cheryl Peng (Equal 16th - HK$272,250), Andrew Lam (Equal 16th - HK$272,250), Kevin Schulz (15th - HK$297,000), Aidan Tam (14th - HK$297,000), Tore Lukashaugen (13th - HK$346,500), and Ro Woong Park (12th - HK$346,500) all hit the rail.
At that point two more players needed to fall before the final table was set, and as fate would have it, they came at the same time on two separate tables. You can read about each by clicking here and here.

Peter Chan Eliminated in Equal 10th Place (HK$371,250)
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
With roughly 70,000 in the middle in a three-bet pot, Peter Chan checked a flop from out of the small blind before Yoshitaka Okawa bet 22,000.
With the action back on Chan, he moved all in for 274,500 to send Okawa into the tank. The Japanese player separated calling chips from his stack and deliberated for several minutes before finally making the call to put Chan at risk.
Chan: 
Okawa: 
Chan's set was in the lead against Okawa's flush and double gutshot, but the turn of the gave Okawa the lead with a straight. Chan needed the board to pair on the river, but it was not meant to be as the 
landed on the river. Since they busted at the same time, Fan and Chan took equal 10th place for a HK$371,250 each.

Terry Fan Eliminated in Equal 10th Place (HK$371,250)
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Jonathan Depa opened for 12,000 under the gun and received a call from Yifan Zheng. Terry fan then moved all in from the button for 94,000. Depa made the call, Zheng folded, and the cards were turned up.
Depa: 
Fan: 
Fan got it in as a dominating favorite, but that doesn't always translate to victory as he found out when the 
flop delivered Depa a jack. Neither the turn nor 
river helped Fan and he was eliminated from the tournament.
Meanwhile, there was another all-in situation at the other table.

Cheng then woke up with a check-raise to 87,000, Miao folded, and Okawa three-bet all in for 126,500 more. Cheng asked for a count and then made the call.
Okawa: 
Cheng:
Okawa had flopped a set to take the lead, and he didn't relinquish it as the

Kampanatsanyakorn Folds
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Randy Lew opened to 12,000 only to have Chane Kampanatsanyakorn three-bet next to act from the cutoff to 27,000. Once the action returned to Lew, he moved all in for in excess of 200,000 to force Kampanatsanyakorn to a decision.
After several minutes Kampanatsanyakorn opted to release his hand while slipping to just 66,000 in chips.

Tang Pushes Out Okawa
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Yat Wai Cheng raised to 13,000 and Yoshitaka Okawa three-bet to 32,000 from the button. With the action on Devan Tang in the big blind, he cold four-bet to 80,000 to force Cheng out while Okawa made the call.
The flop of 
saw Tang push out 40,000 and Okawa went into the tank long enough for time to be called on him. As the last few seconds ticked down, Okawa folded and Tang was pushed the pot.
Ro Woong Park Eliminated in 12th Place (HK$346,500)
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Action folded to Yoshitaka Okawa in the small blind and he raised enough to put Ro Woong Park, who has been clinging to a short stack for the last couple of levels, all in if he choose to call off from the big. He did just that for 17,500 and the cards were turned up.
Park:
Okawa: 
Park got it in good, but his patience would not be reward as the 
flop paired Okawa. The turn gave Oakawa two pair and officially left Park drawing dead. The meaningless was run out on the river for good measure and Park took his leave in 12th place.

Lukashaugen: 
Zheng:
The board ran out a rather undramatic 
and Lukashaugen hit the rail in 13th place for a HK$346,500 payout as Zheng moved over 1.5 million.
