Zheng:
Tang:

With Zheng racing for his tournament life, the flop kept him in the lead before the on the turn now gave him a flush draw as Tang picked up a gutshot.

Unfortunately for the overnight chip leader, the river landed the ending Zheng's tournament in 3rd place while also ending his chances of becoming the Asia Player of the Year as he needed only a 1st place to take the outright lead.

Very Slow Goings

[user80015]

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The Main Event has now hit the snail pace of speeds.

With only a handful of big denomination (25,000) chips in play, players are choosing to bet with their 1,000 and 5,000-denomination chips and consequently there is extra time being wasted in making bets, calling bets and then stacking up chips.

Adding to this, big pots are at a loss like water in a desert as getting to showdown is a rarity. The usual play sees a single preflop raise collecting the blinds and antes, but those times we do see a flop it usually is a preflop raise and a call, a few checks and then a single river bet to win the pot.

It's not the most exciting time in the Main Event but we expect it to pick up soon.
