Eugene Co Eliminated in 5th Place (HK$421,400)
Level 21
: 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Danny Tang surprised Sparrow Cheung after limping the small blind with 
but Cheung did not get out of line so the pot was a small one. However, the hand that followed was definitely not a small one and it saw Eugene Co’s time at the final table come to a close.
Down to 1.8 million Co moved all-in from under-the-gun and the action folded around to Sparrow Cheung on the button who asked for a count. Cheung looked sorely tempted but then eyed up the big stack of Je Ho Lee, who was sitting in the big blind, and decided to let it go.
It was as well that he did and after Lim Chin Wei folded out the small blind, Lee called instantly and Co found himself in a great deal of trouble.
Eugene Co: 
Je Ho Lee: 
Just like a lot of the hands yesterday Lee is catching cards at the perfect time and Cheung definitely dodged a bullet there and told us he folded ace-jack.
The 
flop left Co needing to hit running fives to stay alive and the likelihood of that was a slim one. The 
turn left the Filipino drawing dead and he got to his feet, shook everyone’s hand and prepared to exit the tournament area. The 
completed the hand and Co’s tournament and he headed off to collect the equivalent of $53,945.
That pot gives Lee a commanding lead and the Korean is now sitting on a stack in excess of 10 million in chips.

Pre-Flop Poker
Level 21
: 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Lim Chin Wei opened the action with an under-the-gun raise to 250,000 but found no customers and took down the blinds and antes. Je Ho Lee won the next pot, but we got to see a flop this time.
Lee made it 250,000 to go from UTG and Wei defended from the big blind, but folded out the 
flop to a Lee continuation bet.
Sparrow Cheung tried to get something going from the button the next hand with a raise to 250,000 but Wei nipped that in the bud immediately with a re-raise to 675,000 from the small blind.
Cheung Puts Big Hit on Wei
Level 21
: 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
An absolutely huge hand has recently gone down at the final table that ate into 5-minutes of the end of level break, and it was a doozy.
It was Lim Chin Wei who lit the fuse on a hand that would sizzle slowly before culminating in an explosion of action. Wei made it 250,000 to go from under-the-gun and Je Ho Lee called from the button. Danny Tang called from the small blind and then Sparrow Cheung squeezed to 1 million in the big blind.
Wei moved all in for 4.35 million and Lee looked pained by the decision and tanked for several minutes before folding (we’ll tell you what he had below) and Tang got out of the way. Cheung however, could not get his chips over the line fast enough.
Sparrow Cheung: 
Lim Chin Wei: 
That’s the second time Cheung has woken up with pocket queens when an opponent has pocket tens and the 
run out saw Cheung win the monster pot, while Wei was left with just 6.5 big blinds. Je Ho Lee told the table he folded pocket jacks after the dust had settled.

Break Time
Level 21
: 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
All that action brought the four remaining final tablists up to a 10-minute break.
Level: 22
Blinds: 60,000/120,000
Ante: 20,000
Lim Chin Wei Eliminated in 4th Place (HK$494,000)
Level 22
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Play had not long resumed after the break before the now short-stacked Lim Chin Wei moved the last of his chips in pre-flop from the button and was looked up by Je Ho Lee in the big blind.
Lim Chin Wei:
Je Ho Lee: 
Things really have not gone Wei’s way today and you could not help but feel bad for the Malaysian after that last queens versus tens hand.
Things did not improve for Wei in this hand either with the 
runout bringing his final table to a close.
Wei headed for the rail for the equivalent of a ~$63,239 payday while Lee stacked up to 10.1 million. The clock has now been paused while the three remaining Main Event players discuss the possibility of a deal.

Deal Talk
Level 22
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
The three remaining players, Je Ho Lee, Danny Tang and Sparrow Cheung, are still crunching the numbers and are trying to come to an accommodation that suits everyone. As a result, there have been no more hands dealt since the elimination of Lim Chin Wei. As soon as the three come to an accord we will let you know all the details.
No Deal, Game On
Level 22
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
There has been no deal, the cards are now back in the air and there is 50-minutes remaining on level 22.
Sparrow Wins Small
Level 22
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Je Ho Lee won the first hand back with a pre-flop raise, and then the other two players took it in turns to do the same. An orbit later we got to see a flop when Je Ho Lee raised to 300,000 from the button and Sparrow Cheung defended from the small blind.
However, the 
flop was checked and there was no further betting in the hand with the 
turn and 
river all eliciting no action, meaning Cheung’s five-high flush was enough to win the pot.
