The last hand dealt at the feature table before the 40-minute dinner break saw Paul Teoh depart in a flurry of cards and chips, with Chang Bo Feng the man to bust him in a battle of the blinds.
We only caught the aftermath, but there was over 350,000 already in the pot with the community cards spread 
and Teoh (small blind) was facing a Feng shove, with the latter having him covered.
Teoh made the call, and from the grimace on his face was very unhappy when Feng rolled over 
for the flopped straight, and when Teoh turned over his 
turned two pair we could see why. Teoh headed for the rail, while Feng stacked up to 1.65-million before heading off for a bite to eat.

Albert Paik is outta here. We didn't see the action, but luckily Ivan Leow was able to fill us in.
He told us that Paik opened and his only caller was Sang Hwang. The flop came 
and Hwang called a continuation bet, before a 
hit the turn. Paik moved all-in, and Hwang snap-called holding . We're not sure what Paik had, but it would have had a hard time beating Hwang's hand, whatever it was.

Ivan Leow and Albert Paik are friends. That's become apparent as the two have been spotted chatting away from the tables, and after all, they both final tabled the High Roller earlier in the OPC. However, that friendship hasn't stopped them from gunning for each other from time to time, as this latest hand proves.
Paik opened from middle position to 50,000, which was called by Xiaobo Zhou on the button. Leow then came along from the small blind, and Sang Hwang called from the big. Four ways to a flop, it fell 
and when it checked to Paik he continued for 80,000. Zhou made the call, and then Leow put in a raise to 225,000. That shook off Hwang, but Paik called, and Zhou looked interested too. He'd eventually step aside though.
The turn then came the , and after a long think Leow carried on betting. He made it 325,000, and Paik look pained. He rested his head on his hand and winced as he thought it through. Finally, he folded.
Leow quickly flipped over 
for nothing but an up-and-down draw, and Paik hit the table and quickly stood up, turning away from the table. At first he looked angry, but when he turned back around it was clear he was smiling under his face mask. Leow and Paik shared a few lines of chat, and Paik said he almost called.
"No hard feelings, ah?" said Leow, who now sits with 2.4 million while Paik drops to 825,000.

Wing Kei Chan has just been thrown a lifeline by Chang Bo Feng, earning a double-up at the latter's expense. Feng was the man driving the action with an opening raise of 53,000 from the cutoff. Chan had been surfing the short-stack since the table re-draw and decided to make his stand, shipping in his last 92,000 from the small blind. Flush with chips Feng looked like he fancied thinning the field by one and made the call.
Chang Bo Feng: 
Wing Kei Chan: 
Chan looked to be in trouble with the flop falling 
and Feng pairing his ace on the turn, but the 
river gave him Broadway and a much needed double.

The OPC Main Event is now an all-male affair as the last woman standing has just bitten the dust. Wayne Zhang (lo-jack) was the initial aggressor, making it 53,000 to go for the second hand in a row. Chang Bo Feng re-raised from the cutoff, making it 138,000 to go and Jia Feng Wang moved all-in from the button for 404,000. Zhang made a quick fold, but Feng wanted a count and decided to make the call.
Chang Bo Feng: 
Jia Feng Wang: 
It was big chick versus big slick, though by a strange quirk of fate it was Feng with the ace-queen and Wang with the ace-king. Of course, the window card was the and a disappointed Wang rose to her feet calling for a king. Unfortunately, the rest of the board ran out 
to give Feng top two and send the field's sole remaining female crashing out of the tournament.
