Lindop Leads, Chen Out of Day 1B

Wee Lee Kuan has been hard at work padding out his sizable stack and has climbed up to 166,000. However, there is a new sheriff in town, with the UK's Alex Lindop following up his victory in the opening Event #1 TWD 11,000 No Limit Hold'em event with a deep run here on Day 1B.

Lindop has popped up on the radar with a very healthy stack of 170,000, which looks to be good for the chip lead presently, though it is close and anything could happen in the next 20-minutes to change this fact. Behind Lindop and Kuan, the next largest stack looks to be South Korea's Jae Wook Shin who has around 155,000 in chips.

James Chen's Day 1B is over and he has taken his seat over in the Day 1C turbo flight.
