Hoai Linh Tran has come from nowhere to sit with over 1.5 million in chips close to the last break in the day. He might have been responsible for the recent elimination of Indian bracelet winner Abhinav Iyer, and even though he just doubled up Bold Undai he is far and away the biggest chip stack in the room.
Tran held against the of Undai and the 
flop looked safe. However, the 
runout gave the Mongolian a flush and he doubled to around 275,000.
