Tsai Bests Shin to Edge Ahead
The action is beginning to come to the boil, with a big hand playing out not long after Lee's elimination that saw Yu You Ci Tsai edge into the chip lead after winning a sizeable pot from Korea's Jae Wook Shin.
Wai King Cheung made it 50,000 to go from under-the-gun, with both Tsai, David Erquiaga and Shin (big blind) making the call pre-flop.
Action checked around to Tsai on the 
flop and he fired for 100,000, with Shin check-raising to 300,000 from the big blind.Tsai took quite some time in the tank, glancing at the tournament clock numerous times before moving all-in for around ~900,000 or so and Shin made a quick call.
Jae Wook Shin: 
Yu You Ci Tsai: 
Shin had bottom pair and the nut flush draw and Tsai had top pair, managing to fade all the South Korean's outs on the 
turn and 
river to win a massive pot, climbing slightly ahead of former frontrunner Cheung in the counts with Shin now the short-stack.
