Phachara Wongwichit is back in action and while the Thai player qualified for yesterday’s Day 2A he could not manage to make it through to Day 3 so is having another go today.

flop was just the one Chan was after. Xiao checked and Chan got cute and checked it back and a non-diamond 
on the river paired the board and gave Chan a full house and, after Xiao checked Chan bombed it and bet 42,000. This saw Xiao hit the think tank hard for a good five minutes before a tablemate called the clock. With just seconds to spare Xiao check-raised all in for 80,000 in total and Chan could not call fast enough and Xiao could only throw his
