Michael Soyza was eliminated not long ago and re-entered to quickly double his stack. Things went even better after that as he send Chang He to the rail.
He had defended the 
and got it in after a 
flop only for Soyza to snap-call with 
. The 
turn and 
river mattered little as He headed to the rail.
Derek Ip tripled up when his 
flopped top pair on 
as Xinglaiu Li with 
and a third player in the hand with 
both failed to connect on a blank turn and river.
For Li it spelled the end as he was covered and hit the rail, Ip jumped back to the starting stack.
Victor Chong looked up the shove of a short-stacked Kosumosu Yamanaka with 
and his opponent tabled 
. The board came 
and Yamanaka survived with his king-queen high to double.
Shortly after just before the blinds went up, Yan Rao three-bet shoved and this time Chong sent his cards into the muck.

Blinds: 600/1,200

Ben Lai grinned and his cards were all but mucked as he said "nice slowroll" to Xixiang Luo when his 
for flopped two pair ended up second-best against 
.
Luo was busy stacking even more chips onto his tower and appears to be the current chip leader.
Yake Wu sent his chips over to Joshua Zimmerman and Paul Newey busted with aces according to Natalie Teh. Also on the rail is Sparrow Cheung but all those that vanished can still re-enter tonight or in the first level of Day 2.
A late Day 1 entry is Andre Lettau. The former EPT Barcelona Main Event champion entered with 50 big blinds in the penultimate level o the day.
A reraise to 7,500 was in front of Huidong Gu on the button and Dong Chen made it 20,000 to go from the small blind to force out the initial raiser. Gu opted to call and they headed to the flop on which Chen carefully checked the stack of Gu before tossing in a bet of 10,000.
Gu moved all in for 34,400 and Chen asked for a count but ended up sigh-folding.
Chen An Lin defended his big blind against a button raise by Huijie Zhou and check-raised the flop to 6,500, which Zhou called. Lin then jammed the turn and Zhou quickly came along.
Chen An Lin: 
Huijie Zhou: 
The river was the meaningless 
as Lin was already drawing dead with his top pair.
Level: 8
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 1,000
