Kim, An, Chan and Loo Join

The field is now up to 22 with three tables now on the go with Korea’s Gab Yong Kim, the USA’s Andrew An, Hong Kong's Christina Lai and Malaysia’s Michael Chan, Junzhong Loo and Chin Sun Tan all signing up.

Of the six only Kim and Chan have not previously played with An, Loo, Tan and Lai having previously tried their luck with An playing Day 1A and Loo, Tan and Lai playing yesterday’s 1C.

Lai will definitely be invested in making it through to Day 2 as her partner Percy Chao made it though on 1C and bragging rights count for a lot.
