Wei Pressures Shi, Tran Folds Out Tang

Players are chucking chips around like confetti at a wedding and some of the stacks are fluctuating wildly. While Korea’s Je Ho Lee still has a healthy stack he has dropped some to the rest of his table and sits at close to 1.3 million at the moment.

Another one of the big stacks, Chin Lim Wei is hovering close to what he was at the last we checked, but recently applied the pressure to tablemate Jinqiang Shi to pad out his stack a little more.

It was Shi who was the initial aggressor, making it 35,000 to go in the hi-jack and Wei was thinking things over as we arrived. The Malaysian player came to a decision and reached for the pinks (25,000 chips) and fired out a re-raise to 85,000 in total.

That was enough to get Andrew An to fold out the button and both blinds also got out of the way and the action was back on Shi, who looked unsure of what to do. Eventually, he elected not to tangle with the big stack and folded leaving Wei free to take down the pot pre-flop.

Another player whose stack is moving in the right direction is Hong Kong’s Danny Tang, who has over 1.6 million in front of him, though he passed some chips the way of Linh Tran in the following hand.

It was Tang who was the initial raiser, making it 37,000 to go from the cutoff and Tran re-raised to 90,000 from the button. Tang made the call and the flop came down . Tang checked it over to Tran, who fired for 70,000 and that was enough to take it down.
