Ye Wang Shoves on Jinghui, Yang Wang Folds Out Wei, Devan Tang Busts Paik, Zhao Out
Players have moved up through the gears and there are a lot of chips changing hands presently. The short-stacked Ye Wang shoved on one of the few players on his table he has fold equity against, namely Ying Jinghui, with the two battling it out in the blinds. Jinghui looked as though he might make the call to put Wang at risk, but eventually opted to wait for a better spot.
Another Wang who is doing slightly better is Yang Wang, who has edged into a slender lead. We caught Yang Wang in action against Lim Chin Wei, but the hand did not last long. Wei had won the previous hand with a 3,500 under-the-gun open and found no customers, and was in the big blind the next hand.
It was Wang who was under-the-gun in this one, and he made it 3,500 to go, with Wei choosing to defend to take the action heads-up to a flop of . Wei checked it over to Wang, who c-bet 3,500, which was enough to take it down and he climbed to 215,000.
There have been two recent casualties, but we missed both. Hongjun Zhao is no longer in the High Roller and is now playing the Main Event, so we guess he's not coming back in to this one.
The other casualty is Albert Paik, who fell at the hands of Devan Tang. All the cards were being swept into the muck as we arrived so we only got to see Tang's winning hand, but that was clearly enough for all of Paik's chips and he is now out as well, while Tang now has 100,000.
