Cheng Chops Down Chan

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Hong Kong's Wing Kei Chan has just taken a hit at the hands of Sheng-Chien Cheng, who has been in the hot seat all day, despite a table move. Action was picked up on the river with over 150,000 already in the pot with the community cards spread {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

It was Cheng the man first to act in the small blind, and after some deliberation, he led out for a tickly 58,000 bet. This sent Chan deep into thought, as should he call and lose he would be left with just 115,000. Eventually, he elected to call, tabling {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and discovered that he had just been rivered, with Cheng rolling over {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for two pair.

Soon Lee Toh is no longer in the running after defending his big blind against a David Erquiaga mid-position open.

According to Toh, he shoved the {10-}{j-}{8-} flop with six-seven suited and Erguiaga made a quick call with king-ten, which held up to thin the field by one. Lee departs in 21st place for a TWD 73,500 payday.

Chan Falls to Lindop

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Wing Kei Chan
Wing Kei Chan

Wing Kei Chan was unable to recover after losing that earlier pot against Sheng-Chien Cheng and has become the most recent elimination.

Chan moved the last of his chips in from the cutoff, with the UK's Alex Lindop making the call from the button and the two revealed their hole cards.

Wing Kei Chan: {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Alex Lindop: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Both players missed the {q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} runout, meaning Lindop's kicker played and Chan hit the rail in 20th place for a TWD 73,500 payday.

Huang Pushes Off Fa

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Michael Huang has just won a pot from a re-energized Chou Chien Fa, who looks to have edged back into the chip lead even after folding the pot to Huang.

It was Huang who started things off with a mid-position limp, with Ping Cheong Fung completing from the small blind before Fa re-raised to 68,000 from the big blind. Huang took his time about it, but eventually declared himself all-in, and after Fung folded, Fa hit the think tank.

Eventually Fa elected to fold, but still has a healthy 880,000 stack, while Huang climbed to 550,000.

Chou Eliminated by Shin in 19th place for TWD 73,500 ($2,345); Huang Eliminated in 18th for TWD 83,900 ($2,675)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Play has been paused for a redraw following two quick eliminations. The first saw the short-stacked Cliff Chou move all-in from the button with {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and get looked up by Jae Wook Shin with {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

The {q-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop was not a good one for Chou's pocket sevens, and the {2-Clubs} turn and {5-Clubs} river would be the last board he would see in the Main Event, departing in 19th place for TWD 73,500 while Shin stacked up to just over 1 million in chips.

Chou would not get lonely on the rail and was joined by Michael Huang almost immediately afterward following a clash of two premium hands against Chou Chien Fa.

All the chips went in preflop, with Fa opening the action with a raise, Huang three-betting, Fa four-betting and Huang five-bet shoving and getting called instantly.

Michael Huang: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Chou Chien Fa: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and the field is now down to 17 players, who are being reshuffled over two tables.
