Tang Takes From Chen to Take Pole Position
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
The chip lead is changing hands with increasing frequency, with several players sitting with over 400,000 in chips. The man to hold the honor at present is Yue Feng Tang, who folded Lin Zhe Chen out of a hand to pull ahead of the pack.
Tang was the pre-flop raiser, making it 13,000 to go from the cutoff with Chen choosing to defend from the big blind. Chen checked the 
over to Tang, who fired for another 14,000, which was called.
The 
turn saw Chen check again, with Tang announcing a bet of 36,000. While she took her time about it, Chen finally found the fold, dropping down to 160,000. Tang scooped in the pot, which puts him on a stack of 484,000, which is good for the top spot presently.
