Li Back in Front
Zhong Yuan Hang and Longyun Li are taking it in turns to swap the chip lead, though it looks as though Li has edged out in front a little more, with Hang bleeding some chips with a couple of lose calls to drop down to 3.7 million.
The short-stacked Weizhou Zha has been pretty quiet so far but has finally won a hand after limping pre-flop and fighting against blinds Liu Lifu and Michael Soyza.
Zha led out for 80,000 on the 
flop with Soyza the only caller, but after Zha doubled barrelled the 
turn the Malaysian player quickly folded.
Zha and Li tangled in a small pot the very next hand, with Li raising to 125,000 from the small blind and Zha defending from the big blind. However, a 125,000 Li continuation bet on the 
flop was enough to get Zha to give it up.
