Lim Folds Out Chen, Lee Finds No Customers, Tang Folds Out Pu

Players are playing pass the chip parcel presently. After taking chips from Yang Xu, Lin Zhe Chen has passed them the way of Singapore's Richard Lim. It was Chen the initial aggressor from the cutoff, with Lim responding with a three-bet, Chen a four-bet to 54,000 and Lim a five-bet to 178,000.

That last one sent Chen deep into the tank, where she remained for several minutes before deciding that Mr Lim was telling a believable tale of a big hand and folded, dropping to 460,000, while Lim climbed to 590,000.

Korea's Jeho Lee tried to get something going over on table four with a mid-position open to 18,000 but found no customers, but has grown his stack to 700,000.

Another player whose stack is moving in the right direction is Yue Feng Tang, whom we caught in action in a hand against Wei Ran Pu. Tang was the pre-flop raiser in the cutoff, and we picked up the action on a flop of just as Pu (big blind) checked it over to Tang.

Tang cut out some chips and pushed out a bet of 15,000 - close to half pot - and Pu made the call after thinking it over. The turn was the last card dealt in the hand, with Pu check-folding after Tang bombed the turn for 57,000 to take down the pot and climb to 641,000, while Pu dropped to 350,000.
