Lee Still Leading
Jeho Lee is still the tournament frontrunner, and has been a busy bunny since last we checked, running his stack up to the giddy heights of ~137,000, though he is an uneven chip stacker, so this is just a best guess estimate.
Lee padded out his stack a little more at the expense of Zhongcai Peng, who had opened the action from late position with a raise to 2,000. Lee was in the small blind and he re-popped to 7,500 to send Peng into tank mode. Eventually, the Chinese player gave it up, leaving Lee to rake in yet another pot.
Carson Wong is still sitting with over 100K - 101,200 to be exact - but we could not catch him in action when we called by his table.
The USA's Benjamin Hamnett is still plugging away, but his stack remains much as it did the last time we caught him in action. There was close to 7,000 in the pot on the 
flop and Hamnett (cutoff) was facing a bet of 6,000 from an opponent sitting in middle position. Hamnett chose to let it go, dropping down to 48,300 after the hand.
