Wu Five-bets and Gets There
Level 6
: 200/400, 400 ante
Some positional shenanigans went down in a big pot that started multiway and finished heads-up with a great deal of action.
Fresh from a final table appearance in the Main Event of the APPT Manila earlier this month, China's Jingzhi Wang is trying her luck her in Taiwan and kicked off the action with an under-the-gun limp and finding two more callers with the player to her direct left coming along as well as a player in the hijack.
Sitting in the cutoff, Yu Fai Wu must have thought that this was a perfect squeeze spot, making it 2,800 to go. Both blinds folded out and Wang made the call, only to see her neighbor four-bet to 9,200 in total. After the hijack folded Wu tanked for close to a minute before moving all-in for close to 50,000 or so.
Wang folded but the four-bettor made a speedy call, rolling over 
, dominating Wu's 
. However, the poker gods are extremely fickle and despite being the underdog in the hand, Wu immediately paired his six on the 
flop, improving to trips by the river with the rest of the runout coming 
and 
.
Wu's opponent still had chips left after the hand, but not all that many, while Wu stacked up to just over 100,000 after that timely catch.

Another Pot for Huang
Level 6
: 200/400, 400 ante
Fu Bang Huang is continuing to chip up steadily and always appears to be involved in pots whenever we walk by. That trend continued, with Huang heads-up in pot with over 25,000 in the middle of the table and the community cards spread 
.
Sitting in middle position, Huang was first to act and led out for 12,000, and while his opponent looked tempted, eventually they gave it up leaving Huang to scoop another and pull further ahead of the rest of the field.

Wang Runners Chan
Level 5
: 200/300, 300 ante
Some hands leave a bad taste in your mouth after playing them, and from the expression on Wing Kei Chan's face after a pot he was recently involved in against opponent Tzu Wei Wang, this was one of them.
Action was picked up on the flop with 2,000 in the pot and the community cards spread 
. Chan, situated under-the-gun, led out for 1,200 with Wang making the call on the button.
The 
turn saw Chan slow down and check, opening the door for Wang to take a stab at the pot, and he did so for 1,500. Chan did not take long to make the call, with the river washing in the 
to pair the board.
Chan chose to lead on the final street, betting out 3,000. Wang played with his chips for a while before counting out a raise of 10,000 in total and sliding it into the center of the table, and Chan made a quick call.
Wang triumphantly rolled over 
for rivered trips and Chan looked less than impressed as the pot was shipped his opponent's way.

Huang Still Top
Level 5
: 200/300, 300 ante
The players continue to walk through the door of the Chinese Texas Hold’em Poker Association in Taipei, Taiwan to take part in the Poker King Cup Main Event, with the field now up to 133 total entries, 107 of whom are still in contention.
The man to catch is still Fu Bang Huang, who sits atop the counts with a stack of 129,000 after taking down a recent pot. Action was picked up on the river with over 20,000 in bets in the middle and the community cards spread 
with Huang (middle position) heads-up against a player situated on the button. There was no betting on the final street, with Huang rolling over 
for a turned two pair to claim the pot.

Chen Climbing
Level 4
: 100/200, 200 ante
James Chen has wasted no time getting involved in the action and we caught the Taiwanese player embroiled in a multi-way pot padding out his stack. Action was picked up on a flop of 
with four players in the hand with close to 800 or so in the middle.
All four players checked the flop, with the player in the big blind deciding to take a stab for 600 on the turn. The player in the hijack called, as did Chen from the cutoff, with button Anthony Abram the only player to bow out.
The 
river completed a possible diamond flush and the player in the big blind led out for 700. The player in the hijack folded and action was on Chen, who eyed his opponent calculatingly before opting to re-raise to 2,700 in total. It did not take long for the big blind player to let it go, leaving Chen to scoop the pot without showdown.
