A lot of chips have changed hands recently on several tables, so here's how it all went down. Sen Mu managed to earn a much needed double up at the expense of Austin Walton, with Mu the man to move all-in from UTG+1 for 179,000 with {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. Walton made the call from the small blind with {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Mu was racing for his tournament life. The board ran out {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{a-Spades} to give Mu two pair and the double to 400,000, while Walton dropped to 365,000.

Thne Ivan Leow played two sizable pots and lost both to drop a chunk of chips. In the first, it was a blind on blind battle between Seng Hwang (small blind) and Leow (big blind). We arrived just as Hwang jammed the river for 575,000 on a board reading {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. There was close to 500,000 in the pot already and Leow tanked long and hard before folding. Hwang flashed the Malaysian player a card, we are guessing a big diamond but could not see from where we were standing, and raked in the pot to climb to just over 1-million.

Then Leow played another blind on blind battle, this time against Yuefeng Pan that resulted in a double up for the latter. It all started with a Leow small blind limp and Pan made it 70,000 to go in the big blind. Leow then check-raised to 210,00 and after some time in the tank Pan slid out the call.

Leow quickly jammed the {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop and Pan called instantly, so it was quite surprising to see the cards when they were turned over.

Ivan Leow: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Yeufeng Pan: {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

Pan evidently gave Leow zero credibility and called off for his tournament life with ace-high - and it was ahead. The {7-Diamonds} turn and {9-Hearts} river saw Pan double to 1.1-million, while Leow dropped to 1.5-million.
