Peng and Yau Tied at the Top
There is just half a level left before play concludes for the day, and the clock currently shows 25-minutes remaining, meaning that in 10-minutes it will be paused and the last number of hands will be drawn for the day.
At present, it appears to be a tie for the top, with both Winson Yau and Zhongcai Peng sitting on very similarly sized stacks - both close to 160,000 and change.
Other notable stacks include Korea's Daero Lee (130,000), China's Zhang Gui Fei (130,000), Macau's Gary Lam (145,000).
It appears that Hong Kong's Ben Lai has come a cropper and his seat is now empty - according to a social media post he ran pocket aces into pocket jacks pre-flop and was brutally two-outed - though fellow countryman Carson Wong is still in the running with a stack of 40,000.
