Wee Spikes Set to Take Lead

An absolutely huge hand has gone down between Jieming Xu, Chang Yu Chung and Lee Kuan Wee that saw the latter shoot straight to the top of the chip counts.

It was Chung who lit the fuse with an open to 7,000 from middle position, with a short-stacked Xu moving all-in for ~45,000 or so from the button. Sitting in the small blind, Wee announced raise and cut out a sizable stack of blue 5k chips for another 100,000 on top and action was back on Chung, who wasted little time in moving all-in for over 160,000. Wee tossed in the extras and the trio revealed their hands, with all of them holding premium pairs.

While Xu looked to be in great shape for a triple up, the window card was the , which brought an anguished cry of "Oh my god!" from Xu.

The rest of the runout came down to give Wee a boat and the monster pot, while Xu and Chung took some pictures of the board to commemorate the occasion before heading for the rail, while Wee stacked up to 445,000, which is good for the chip lead presently.
