JC Alvarado raised from early position and receive one single caller in Sergey Lebedev on the button. On the 
flop, Alvarado continued for 3,000 and Lebedev flat-called before the 
on the turn saw another bet worth 6,000 by the Mexican.
Lebedev called and the duo then checked down the 
on the river. Lebedev flashed 
and that was good enough to win the pot.
Play had not long resumed after the dinner break before we witnessed a big hand between Maria Ho and Sheng Sun. Pre-flop it was Ho who was the initial aggressor, opening the action to 2,000 from under-the-gun.
Sitting UTG+1 Sun reached for chips and splashed a sizable re-raise of 7,200 into the middle of the table and Ho asked him how much more he was playing – 39,700 – before making the call.
Ho checked the 
flop over to Sun, who bet out 10,000 and after 15-seconds of deliberation she made the call to bring both players to the 
turn, with the action going check, check.
The 
river saw Ho check for a third time and Sun promptly shipped his remaining 29,700 into the middle of the table. Ho thought it over for nearly the full 30-seconds before making the call, but pitched her cards into the muck when the Chinese player turned over 
. Sun climbed to 85,000 while Ho dropped down to 21,000.
Canlin Chen raised to 1,600 and Timothy Adams three-bet to 5,600 before the action reached Mustapha Kanit. The Italian moved all in for his last 15,300 and both opponents called.
On the 
flop, Chen bet 3,500 and Adams called before doing so again on the 
turn for another 5,000. After the 
river, Chen now made it 18,000 to go and that proved to be too much for Adams, who ended up sending his cards into the muck.
Kanit tabled ace-king while Chen had the 
for a turned set to eliminate the Italian. Just one minute later, Kanit was waiting with a new ticket in the hand to start attempt number two.
Yang Wang had dominated the table before the dinner break with sheer aggression, and he tried to do so again. A raising war with Dianlei Zhang, who happens to be on his second bullet, resulted in a pot worth 29,000 to the 
flop. Zhang checked from early position and Wang bet 8,000 from the cutoff, which Zhang called.
The 
turn brought no betting action, while Zhang then bet the 
river for 15,000. The clock ticked down to five seconds before Wang let go and dropped some chips.

There have been a total of 146 entries (including 16 re-entries) in the HK$103,000 High Roller, 111 of whom currently remain in contention. Play has just paused for an hour for the scheduled dinner break. Join us at 8pm when play resumes.
Louis Nyberg, Johnjin Kim and Kazuhiko Yotsushika were among the participants thus far that fired a second bullet and they have one further thing in common: The second attempt also saw them run out of chips and the trio has been eliminated for good, as just a single re-entry is allowed during the registration period until the start of Day 2 tomorrow at 12 p.m. local time.
Other casualties before the dinner break included Oliver Price, Georgios Zisimopoulos, Philipp Gruissem, Wenwu Xue, Alexander Lynskey, Hongjun Zhao and Anthony Diotte.
"Hs is crushing everyone on the table. I am second biggest stack, but Nick is just crushing," Daniel Tang said, referring to Nick Petrangelo. The American poker pro bubbled yesterday's HK$206,000 Single-Day High Roller and seems to be determined to make this one count, having more than tripled up his stack.
Yang Wang is still the man to beat towards the end of level six and with the upcoming dinner break, with more than four times the starting stack.
Michael Addamo is also on the rise. After a raise to 1,400 by Dario Sammartino and two callers, the Aussie three-bet big to 7,000. Timothy Adams called before a short stack moved in for 20,700. Addamo reshoved with the 
and Adams folded, the player at risk had pocket nines and Addamo flopped the wheel - easy game. By the way, the seat was then filled by none other than John Juanda.
Below are further assorted big stacks.
A huge hand played out between Rathi Shashank and Manig Loeser that saw the latter hit the rail after a battle of the blinds between the two.
Action folded around to Shashank in the small blind who just completed before Loeser decided to get aggressive and he raised to 1,900, only to see Shashank check-raise to 4,600 in total.
Loeser thought it over for a few seconds before calling and the flop came down a monochrome 
, which Shashank led for an enticing 2,500. The German made the call to keep the action heads-up to the turn.
Despite the pair up, Shashank fired a second barrel of 6,500 causing Loeser to recheck his cards not once, but twice before he moved all-in for 28,200 in total.
After asking for the count Shashank thought it over until there were just 5-seconds on the clock before throwing in the calling chips and the cards were turned over.
While Loeser, holding had begun the hand with a dominated holding the German had managed to spike trips to pull ahead of Shashank’s 
. However, the Hong Kong-based player had the spade redraw to fall back on, in addition to the deck’s sole remaining queen and the arrival of a fourth spade on the river saw Loeser bust his first bullet.
Loeser headed for the cash desk to re-enter and Shashank stacked up to what looked to be a little under 80,000.
There are some High Roller tables, and then there is the one that features so many big names that it becomes one to watch for the rest of the day, though nothing much has happened thus far on it despite all the table talk, laughs and smiley faces of Mustapha Kanit.
On a five-way limped pot to the 
flop, Mustapha Kanit bet 1,600 in the cutoff and Dario Sammartino folded on the button. Canlin Chen and Timothy Adams also got out of the way, while Yu Liang called. On the turn, Liang checked and Kanit bet 5,000.
That forced a fold from Liang and Kanit showed the 
with a big smile on the face and laughed heartily. To make the table line up even more ridiculous, Michael Addamo is also on it on the eight seat.
