Yim and Lai Up, Gruendemann and Lau Out
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Timothy Yim is on the move with the breaking of his table, which the Hong Kong player will be sad about as he has more than doubled his holdings and chipped up to 215,000.
Other players flying high include Yue Wang (190,000), Duan Chao (180,000), Kwok Chun 'Derx' Lai (176,000) and Antonio Martins (125,000).
Hong Kong's Ben Lai is also building, pushing a tablemate off a hand pre-flop to win without showdown and climb to 83,000 shortly before the break.
However, for Mark Gruendemann and Alan Lau the dream is over, with both players departing within minutes of each other, and both on bluffs.
