Cheung Out, Wang Folds Out Wu

Sparrow Cheung's short-stacked escapades are over and he will have to re-enter should he wish to lock up a Day 2 seat, though he still has close to ten-minutes of the remaining level and all of the 40-minute dinner break to compose himself and get back in action.

Another player who will need to get something going is Jingzhi Wang, though she has just taken some chips from Yu Fai Wu with which to increase her chances of spinning up a stack. It was Richard Lim who was the instigator in this particular hand limping from early position with Wu then responding with a raise to 1,500 from middle position, finding a caller in the player on the button, Wang (small blind), and Lim.

The flop fell and action checked over to Wu, who fired for 2,000. After the player on the button bowed out, Wang moved all-in for close to 18,000 in total and Lim quickly folded. While Wu took his time about it, he too eventually gave it up, leaving Wang free to rake in the pot and climb to 23,000.
