Besides TLPT owner Quan Zhou, some of China's rising stars have taken a seat on Day 1c of this Circuit Main Event and that includes the latest sensation Yinan Zhou who won the WSOP Paradise Main Event for a cool US$6 million this past December.
Renji Mao and Dong Chen are also in contention as well to make for a more prominent third flight.

Early into the new level, Qun Dang tangled with Wei Liu and check-called the Q♥8♥5♦ flop for 6,000. He then checked the K♠ turn and instantly called the shove by Liu to get shown the 8♣8♦ for a flopped set of eights.
Dang was depleted for a moment as he held K♦Q♣ for the turned top two pair, but the relief came with the K♥ river for the superior full house.
Level: 8
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 1,000
After defending out of the big blind, Kinda Xie tried to knock out Yang Hu when they got it in after the 7♠6♦5♣7♣ turn with Hu at risk for 19,400.
Yang Hu: A♦7♦ 
Kinda Xie: K♣10♣
Xie needed a club to score the knockout but the 6♥ on the river further improved Hu to a full house instead.
Xi Peng vividly demanded for an ace when he had looked up Yiyu Zhou for 23,800 with A♥K♦ versus K♥K♣. The board came J♥6♦4♦3♠3♥ and the kings held for Zhou to earn the double in what appears to be a very frantic period after the first break.
Qiheng Liu had not been in his seat for the first two hours of play and then came in after the first break. Soon, his chips went into the middle with the 7♠7♦ and Sebastian Ferreira had him dominated holding the 10♠10♥.
The A♣3♥2♦10♣2♣ board gave Ferreira a full house to score the elimination in style.
Changdong Ren was among the players right at the start involved in the action on Day 1a and Day 1c. He has continued to thrive thus far and more than tripled up his stack. The latest open raise by him was for 1,600 and Yunpeng Jiang three-bet to 3,600. Ren reraised to 9,000 and Jiang folded to get shown the A♦5♦.
