While Cheng Hui Chang (42,000) and Xu Jieming (48,000) have both pressed on following those earlier decent pots, the man who has shot out into an early lead in Hsiao Yun Yang, who has spun his 30,000 starting stack up to 55,000.
We caught Yang padding out his stack still further following a raise from the player in the hijack to 500, with Yang making the call from the cutoff and Hsu Pei Shun also coming along for the ride from the small blind.
The 
flop brought a check from Shun and a continuation bet of 625 from the hijack before Yang reached for chips, and not for calling with, re-raising to 2,575 in total, which was enough to win without showdown when the other two players took the hint and bowed out.

Cheng Hui Chang opened the action from under-the-gun with a raise to 300, picking up a caller in the form of Hsui Pei Shun in the hijack, before cutoff Shao Hong Lee juiced it up to 1,500. The blinds got out of the way and both Chang and Shun made the call to take the action three-way to a flop of 
.
The rainbow nature of the flop didn't slow down the action any, and while Chang checked, Shun wasn't shy and pushed in a bet of 600. Lee did not take long to call, and Chang shrugged and tossed in the call to keep the three players in action going to the 
turn.
Now Chang sprang into action, leading for 5,000 and while that was enough to get Shun to bow out, Lee made the call to take action heads-up to the 
river.
Chang announced 'all-in' for around 21,500 and Lee mulled over his options, eventually deciding a fold was in order, leaving Chang free to scoop a decent-sized early pot.
