Aggressive Play From Wu
![[user357898]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Hong Kong's Terrence Wu just played a pretty interesting pot, and it all began with a limp.
He limped under the gun, and after one call from early position there was a raise to 800 from the hijack. That got calls from both the cutoff and button, and when it folded back to Wu he raised it up to 5,000. Only the hijack raiser would make the call.
Heads-up to a flop, it fell 
and Wu took his time before continuing for an almost pot-sized 11,000. His opponent would be forced to lay it down, and Wu now stacks up 42,000.

Hong Gets A Double
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Xuechun Hong's Main Event must have got off to a rocky start in Level 1. However, Level 2 has proved kinder, and he's just doubled up to 38,000.
Picking up the action on a 
flop, Hong had checked before a player led for 1,000 and another called. Hong then three-bet to 4,000, and after one fold and one call it went heads-up to a 
turn. Hong continued to fire for 7,100 which was called, and then jammed all-in for 7,350 on the 
river.
His opponent - who for now will remain nameless - called quickly, and Hong almost looked like he was ready to muck. Eventually though he'd show his 
for a flopped two pair, and his opponent would muck, dropping to just 5,000.

Boarding Passes, Please
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
A huge throng of players have just entered the Poker King Club with seat tickets in hand. It's almost like a scene from an airport, where the staff have just announced a new group of flyers can now board the plane. There's still a healthy queue of folks waiting for their seats too, so even though the tournament screens currently say 72 entries, the actual figure is much higher.
There are some recognisable faces among the throng. Malaysia's Victor Chong has just sat down, fresh from his sixth-place finish in the High Roller for HK$220,000. The blue hair of Raiden Kan has also caught attention, as has the return of Xixiang Luo, who busted yesterday and is back for another shot.

Zhao Starts As He Means To Go On
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Zhonglin Zhao has kicked his Main Event off with a small win. He opened to 300 from the cutoff and was immediately three-bet to 1,500 by the button. When it folded back to him he'd make the call, before check-calling a 2,500 continuation bet on a 
flop. Both checked the 
turn which paired the board, leading to the 
river.
Zhao now took the betting lead for 3,500, and his opponent thought for a while before folding. Zhao showed he'd rivered a full house with his 
, and raked in the chips.

Early Risers
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
There are 42 players currently registered in this one, and out of those are a few familiar faces.
We've got Jen Chen Chiu and Carson Ka Shing Wong, both of whom have enjoyed deep runs in big Macau events this year. Then we've got a few players from yesterday returning for a second bullet, including Shiaqing Lin and Zhao Yanchao. Let's see if they can bag up chips today.
