Yang Takes Early Lead
Level 3
: 75/150, 150 ante
While Cheng Hui Chang (42,000) and Xu Jieming (48,000) have both pressed on following those earlier decent pots, the man who has shot out into an early lead in Hsiao Yun Yang, who has spun his 30,000 starting stack up to 55,000.
We caught Yang padding out his stack still further following a raise from the player in the hijack to 500, with Yang making the call from the cutoff and Hsu Pei Shun also coming along for the ride from the small blind.
The 
flop brought a check from Shun and a continuation bet of 625 from the hijack before Yang reached for chips, and not for calling with, re-raising to 2,575 in total, which was enough to win without showdown when the other two players took the hint and bowed out.
