Halme Doubles Through Pang
Antti Halme is one of the more recent late arrivals and the Finnish player has got his Main Event off in the right way, earning himself a double at the hands of current frontrunner Kwong Yuen Pang.
It was Halme who was the initial aggressor, making it 2,600 to go from under-the-gun plus one and action folded around to Pang in the small blind, who threw out a re-raise of 11,000 in total.
After the big blind bowed out the action was back on Halme who tanked long and hard before deciding to take a stand and moving all-in for 27,600 in total. Pang called immediately and the cards were turned over.

Kwong Yuen Pang: 
Halme maintained his lead on the 
flop but the turn was an extremely sweaty 
to give Pang both a flush and straight draw. Fortunately for the Finn the river was a nice, safe 
and Halme doubled to 56,100 while Pang dropped to 147,400.
