Suri Still Top Dog
Level 10
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Bobbie Suri is in the Jesus seat at present and can do no wrong and has just won a 100k pot from 2015 Red Dragon Champion Tony Cheng just before the close of level 10.
Suri called Cheng’s late position raise from the small blind, flopped top pair, improved to a gutshot on the turn and got there on the river to win the monster pot, with Cheng mucking without showdown. That further cements Suri’s status as chip leader and he now has 210,000 in chips. Cheng is still very much in the running though and has a stack of 67,000.

Huang Busts Chong
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Malaysia’s Victor Chong has just become one of the more recent casualties, with Guanglun Huang the man to show him the door. While we missed the majority of the hand Chong’s former tablemate Bobbie Suri was happy to run us through the action.
Pre-flop it was Chong who was the aggressor, making it 2,000 from early position with jack-ten suited and picking up three callers, with a player in middle position making the call, in addition to Huang in the cutoff and Suri in the big blind.
The flop came down a monochrome 
and Chong must have thought he had hit the jackpot and fired out a half pot sized continuation bet. While this was enough to get the player in the middle to bow out Huang had other plans and re-raised.
This folded out Suri and Chong moved the rest of his chips in and was called immediately to swell the pot to over 100,000. Unfortunately for Chong, while he had flopped the straight Huang had flopped the flush with 
meaning the Malaysian player was already drawing dead. Chong headed for the rail and Huang stacked up to over 114,000.

Zhou and Jiangpeng Like Flashing
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
It looked like an interesting hand was developing between Danny Tang and Quan Zhou, who is in the midst of tucking into a tasty looking pie and seems fully focused on making sure he does not get any of the tomato sauce on his hole cards.
However, Zhou’s attention snapped sharply back to the game as soon as Tang made it 2,000 to go on Zhou’s big blind. Action folded around to Zhou and the two bantered away in Mandarin, though it could have been Cantonese but we don’t really have the ear to tell the difference.
It looks like Zhou is asking Tang what he will do if he raises and while Tang is talkative he doesn’t seem to be giving much away. Eventually, Zhou decided to test the waters and threw in the raise, much to Tang’s displeasure and the two banter back and forth some more.
Eventually, Zhou offers to let Tang pick one of his hole cards if he folds, and after thinking it over Tang grudgingly made the fold and picked the left card. Zhou obligingly turned over the 
as he raked in the pot and Tang seemed happy enough to let it go and Zhou went back to eating his pie.
Zhao Jianpeng also likes flashing cards it seems, and after he made it 2,000 to go from late position, big blind Terry Tian Yuen Tang grilled him about what Jianpeng was raising his blind with.
Tang takes so long chewing over the decision that one of the other players calls for the clock and Tang immediately rolled over 
and threw it into the muck and Jianpeng kindly flashed him the

Stack Check Before Break
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
There have been 282 entries so far on Day 1C of the Poker King Cup Main Event, 216 of whom are still in the running and the players have just gone on a 15-minute break. We are having some technical difficulties at the moment which is why there are not all that many posts, but hopefully this will be resolved shortly as the action is fast and furious with some of the players getting the chips in with an almost reckless abandon.
India's Bobbie Suri is still leading but there are some monster stacks shaping up around the card room and it is highly likely that the end of the day frontrunner will be leading the whole tournament. Wang Yuexin is another with a beefy stack and while we tried to catch the Chinese player in action on a board of 
Yuexin's two opponents both fold out when he led for 3,400 from the cutoff into a pot of 7,000 to take it down unopposed.
The Phillippines Flo Campomanes tried to get something going in a hand against Chung Yuan Yu, opening to 1,400 from early position with Yu the only caller on the button. However, as soon as Campomanes led the 
for 1,600 Yu folded instantly.
Nick Wong is back in the action after busting his first bullet and has managed to run his second stack up to 35,500 and the re-buy period will conclude when play resumes after the break.

Suri Strengthens Lead
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
There was a raise to 1,100 from a player in the hi-jack with current frontrunner Bobbie Suri making the call from the button and Malaysia’s Victor Chong making the call from the big blind to take the action three-way to a flop of 
.
The original raiser already looked uncomfortable the moment Suri put his chips into the pot and after Chong checked the flop so did he, opening the door for Suri to take a stab for 1,600.
Chong tanked in the big blind for a minute or so but decided to play it safe and fold, as did the original raiser. It seems no one wants to tangle with the top dog and Suri scooped the pot unopposed to climb to close to 130,000 in chips.
