Yuguang Li Leads Final 65 into Day 3 at the ACOP Main Event

Brentharrington

Yuguang Li (440,300) comes into Day 3 140,000 chips above the next closest stack. Li is poised to make a deep run and possibly put himself on top of the 2015 Asia Player of the Year rankings.

The 64 other players returning today will obviously have something to say about that. Christoph Vogelsang (127,100) spent most of the first two days nursing a short stack. He was even down to 2,700 before he doubled up with against a player with .

Day 1a chip leader Zhengye Yao parlayed his lead into the fourth largest stack coming into today with 266,300.

Carrying the Team PokerStars flag are; Mikhail Shalamov (161,400), Isaac Haxton (77,200), and Bryan Huang (54,300).

Haxton lost some steam late in Day 2, when he called Andy Andrejevic's (159,600) river shove. The board read and Andrejevic shoved for his last 56,600. Haxton called and Andrejevic won the pot with two pair, .

The players will play six 90-minute levels today and the field should be into the money before the end of play today. The top 27 places will be paid, with a min-cash being worth $193,000 HKD ($24,900 USD approx)

Level: 13

Blinds: 1,000/2,000

Qi Doubles After Bad Start

MarcC

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Qi Luo lost more than half his stack early on but went into shoving mode and found a double.

No one called his under-the-gun shove but they did the very next hand. Michael Tureniec raised from early position before Tse Jui Tsai three-bet from the small blind. Luo then four-bet all in for 20,700 and Tsai called after Tureniec folded.

Luo:

The board ran to make Luo a straight.

Tse Jui Tsai	130,000	-23,500

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Nothing Wong with Kings

MarcC

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Erik Seidel changed his chair and immediately lost a pot. The players are lucky enough to have high-backed comfy chairs but Seidel seems to prefer the smaller, harder option.

KC Wong opened to 4,200 and was called by Seidel and Thomas in the blinds. All three checked the flop before Seidel led for 9,000 on the turn. Wong called and both players went on to check the river. Seidel opened but Wong had slow played his and raked in the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ka Cheong Wong	101,000	101,000
Erik Seidel	82,000	-14,800

Yao Can't Always Get What You Want, Vogelsang Doubles

Brentharrington

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Christoph Vogelsang just doubled up in a huge pot with the Day 1a chipleader Zhengye Yao when both players had an overpair.

Shunu Zang opened the action with a preflop raise of 4,000 from under the gun. Vogelsang three bet to 11,000 and the action fell to Yao into the small blind.

"Raise," said Yao, before making it 20,500.

Zang folded and Vogelsang took a few moments before calling. The flop came and Yao bet 20,500, the same size as his preflop four-bet. Vogelsang took his time again, before eventually calling. The turn was the and Yao went into the tank. He settled on a bet of 30,000, which was a little less than half of Vogelsang's remaining stack.

Vogelsang leaned forward and looked directly down at his chips, possibly trying to count his remaining stack. He then stacked his chips and put them over the line, going all in for 70,200. Now the pressure was on Yao, it was only 40,200 more to call, but Yao seemed torn. Eventually the clock was called and Yao tossed in a call. He turned over , but would lose the pot to the of Vogelsang.
