Daniel Belov has taken control here in Manila as the first player up to 150,000 in chips.
He recently picked up another pot making it 2,000 under the gun and getting two callers in the blinds. The flop fell and after two checks, Belov made it 2,500 to see the turn. Neither player called and Belov added the chips to his ever growing stack.

Thanh Ha Duong sat quietly having pushed all in for his last 25,900 on an board.
There was already some 25,000 in the middle as Shih Ciao Wang contemplated the massive call. Eventually he made it and Duong let out a yelp, slapping on the felt, having gone runner-runner to make trips.
Wang could only shake his head and muck.

Alex Andreev just pushed over the 100,000-chip mark picking off a sizable bluff.
His heads-up opponent check called 6,000 on the turn of a board, then proceeded to bet 12,000 after the river.
Andreev took very little time making the call and was shown . He rolled over and raked in the pot having read his opponent's soul.
