Huo Busts Jia
Level 7
: 300/600, 100 ante
A short-stacked Tang Jia moved all-in from under-the-gun for his last 9,700 and was looked up by neighbor Dong Huo. Jia, holding 
was racing for his tournament life against the 
of Huo and got to his feet as the dealer spread his fate across the felt.
The 
was a kind one, as was the 
turn but disaster struck on the 
river and Jia headed for the sidelines while Huo stacked up to 30,000.

Ning Doubles through Tai
Level 7
: 300/600, 100 ante
Bo Ning limped from under-the-gun, which encouraged Weizhou Zha to come in from the cutoff before Macau’s Ieng Tai squeezed to 3,600 from the small blind. It looked as if this was what Ning was waiting for and he could not get the rest of his chips in fast enough.
Zha folded and while Tai did not look as though he liked it he felt compelled to call of the 8,400 extra and the hands were turned over.
Bo Ning: 
Ieng Tai: 
Ning found himself in great shape and scored the double up when the board ran out 
to climb back into contention with a stack of 27,000 while Tai dropped to 23,100.

Bao Busts Lai
Level 7
: 300/600, 100 ante
Jia Chun Bao opened the action with a raise to 1,500 from the cutoff and neighbour Derx Lai got his last 3,500 chips in the middle from the hi-jack. No one else was interested and the action folded back around to Bao who flicked in the extras and the cards were turned over.
Derx Lai: 
Jia Chun Bao: 
Lai was in front and was on his feet calling for an ace and a jack and got his wish with the ace coming in the window, quickly followed by a jack. The poker gods have got a twisted sense of humor however and the third card was a ten with the flop falling 
to give Bao Broadway and Lai went from merriment to misery in the space of a single second.
There was no ace or jack to be seen on the turn or river and Lai is out while Bao stacked up to 27,000.

Xing’s Chips in the Bin
Level 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
We found it hard to catch Gao Xing in action yesterday but today was a different story. Xing had not long entered but was already causing mischief and we found her involved in a hand against Chen Bin on a flop of 
with 4,500 in the pot already.
Bin (small blind) had checked the action over to Xing, who fired for 2,500 and Bin quickly pulled the trigger and moved all-in for 10,950 total. Xing had him covered, but not by all that much. However, that did not seem to faze Xing and she tossed in the call and the cards were turned over.
Chen Bin: 
Gao Xing:
While both players had a straight draw and Xing held a narrow lead with her ace-high Bin was drawing extremely live and had a club flush draw to go with his open-ender, making him a slight favorite in the hand.
The flush came straight in on the turn to grant Bin the double and he climbed to 26,400 while Xing dropped right down to 1,850 so has her work cut out for her if she wants to improve her leaderboard standing.

Wong Winning
Level 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
Macau’s Keng Po Wong has edged into an early lead, though he already had a sizable stack when we caught him in action against tablemate Yuchin Zhing.
We picked up the action on a flop of 
with 3,000 already in the pot and it appears Wong had decided to peel off a flop from the small blind against a Zhing button open.
Wong led for 1,000 and Zhing announced a raise, making it 2,500 to go in total. Wong called and the dealer burned and turned the 
to pair the board. There was no betting on this street with Wong checking and Zhing checking it right back.
The river saw Wong reach for chips once more and he fired for 2,000, which Zhing called after thinking it over for a few seconds. Wong turned over 
for rivered trip tens and Zhing threw his cards into the muck. Wong climbed to 57,000 making him one of the larger stacks, if not the largest stack, while Zhing dropped to 23,200.
