Fan Departs at the Close of Play
Play in the Poker King Cup Taiwan Main Event has concluded for the day, with 32 players finding a bag at the end of the six 60-minute levels.
It was close to being 33 players, but Hong Kong's Wei Fan departed in the final hand, getting the last of his chips in preflop with 
and finding a caller in the form of the UK's Alex Lindop, holding 
Lindop had Fan covered and while the 
was a good one for the latter, disaster struck on the 
turn, with Lindop making a set. The 
river would be the last card Fan would see dealt in the tournament and he hit the rail in 33rd place for a TWD 50,500 payday.
The rest of the field has bagged and tagged, with play resuming for the penultimate Day 3 at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, August 19. Full end of day counts and wrap to follow.
