Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

There have been two quick eliminations, with Shan Huang one of the players departing in a flurry of cards and chips to bring the field down to 25.

A man whose stack is moving in the right direction is Singapore's Richard Lim, who just hit a huge hand at the right time to double through Wei Ran Pu.

It was Pu who was the initial raiser, making it 40,000 to go from the hijack, with Jun Fang re-raising to 133,000 from the cutoff, before Lim jammed in the rest of his chips from the button for a shove of 390,000 exactly.

Pu took his time thinking things over, but chose to make the call whilst Fang pitched his cards into the muck.

Wei Ran Pu:
Richard Lim:

Lim was in great shape, binking a set on the turn and improving to quads on the river when the runout came down to gasps from the watching rail. That timely catch shoots Lim up to 933,000, while Pu took a hit to drop to 610,000.
