Double for Leong, Chan Takes From Behbehani, Behbehani Busts to Tang
Level 14
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Play had not long resumed following the break before the short-stacked Chan Wai Leong earned himself a double up at Devan Tang’s expense.
Tang limped from middle position and action folded around to Leong on the button who moved all-in for 220,000. After the blinds got out of the way Tang tossed in the calling chips but was not happy to see that Leong had him dominated and uttered an expletive in Cantonese that Salman Behbehani seemed keen to learn.
Devan Tang: 
Chan Wai Leong: 
Tang was calling for a chop but did not get one when the board ran out 
to grant Leong a much needed double and he climbed to 450,000 while Tang dropped to 225,000.
Salman Behbehani got a chance to try out his new found linguistic phrase the very next hand against Peter Chan, making it 40,000 from UTG+1 with Chan chosing to defend from the big blind.
Chan checked the 
flop over to Behbehani, who checked it right back and the 
hit the turn, which brought a bet of 40,000 from Chan.
Behbehani thought it over for a few seconds and made the call and the 
completed the hand, but not the betting. Chan fired out a bet of 65,000 and Behbehani made a quick call, but could only muck when Chan turned over 
for top pair. Chan climbed to 1,040,000 after the hand while Behbehani was looking a little short on 225,000.
This found it’s way into the middle shortly afterward when the US player moved all-in with ace-nine and ran into the ace-jack of Tang and the field is now down to 14.

Loeser Wins Three-way, Badziakouski Takes From Yong, Leong Doubles Through Cheng
Level 14
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
While Wang Qiang still has the chip lead at present both Manig Loeser and Mikita Badziakouski are catching up. Loeser won a sizable three-way pot against Antonios Paschalidis and Qiang.
Loeser showed down pocket tens which held against the ace-king of Paschalidis on a 
[x][x] board, with Qiang folding without showdown and Loeser climbed to 1.95 million while Qiang dropped to a little over 2 million and Paschalidis fell to 450,000.
Mikita Badziakouski took a bite out of Richard Yong’s stack after defending his big blind against a Yong mid-position 40,000 open with the flop falling 
.
Badziakouski check called Yong’s 40,000 continuation bet before leading the 
turn for 110,000, a bet Yong called quickly.
The 
river saw the Belarusian reach for chips once more and he fired out a hefty 140,000 river bet with Yong slamming down the call.
Badziakouski rolled over 
for the turned gutshot straight to climb to 1.8 million, leaving Yong to shake his head and drop down to 415,000.
Chan Wai Leong managed to net another double up shortly afterward over on the other table, moving all-in from the button for 356,000 over the top of a Tony Cheng 50,000 mid-position open, which Cheng called immediately.
Chan Wai Leong: 
Tony Cheng: 
Leong was racing for his tournament life and the flop fell 
and while Cheng picked up some additional flush outs when the hit the turn the 
river saw Leong double once more and he climbed to 720,000 while Cheng dropped to 350,000

Leong Cripples Tang, Juanda Administers Coup De Grace
Level 14
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Just 13 players remain in the Triton Super High Roller Series 2017 Montenegro Main Event with Devan Tang losing a huge hand to Malaysia’s Chan Wai Leong to drop down to a paltry 2.5 big blinds.
This found its way into the middle of the table shortly afterward with Tang getting the last of his chips in with jack-ten and while this had worked out well for him in the past it was no match for big blind John Juanda’s mighty jack-six after the latter caught his six to send Tang to the rail in 14th place.

‘Worst Beat Ever’ for Cates, Patgorski Derails Shangai Wang Express, Loeser Leads
Level 15
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Action folded around to the newly chipped up Chan Wai Leong in the small blind and he put big blind Daniel Cates all-in. Cates mulled it over and made the call and the cards were turned over.
Leong showed first, turning over 
and Cates flipped over his with a flourish saying “I got that beat.”
While Cates had the dominating hand the board ran out 
for a chop.
“Man, that’s the worst beat I’ve ever seen,” grumbled Cates as the pot was divvied up.
There was a slightly bigger pot playing out simultaneously over on the other table between Gabe Patgorski and Wang Qiang that saw the latter relinquish the lead for the first time today.
We picked up the action on the river with over 200,000 in blinds and antes in the pot with the community cards spread 
just as Patgorski fired out a bet of 120,000.
Qiang thought it over for a bit before making the call but could only slide his cards into the muck when Patgorski turned over the nut straight to take a big bite out of Qiang’s stack. The Shanghai Wang express was derailed to the tune of 1.7 million while Patgorski stacked up to 800,000. This means Manig Loeser edges into the chip lead with a stack of 1.9 million.

Double for Cates, Loeser Still Leads
Level 15
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Daniel Cates moved all-in for 313,000 from the button, Dominik Nitsche re-shoved to isolate from the small blind and big blind Peter Chan took the hint and got out of the way.
Daniel Cates: 
Dominik Nitsche: 
“I think I’d rather have your hand,” Cates chuckled ruefully when the cards were turned over. However, he soon changed his tune when the flop fell 
and he picked up an open-ended straight draw, which came straight in when the hit the turn. The was merely a formality and Cates doubled to 635,000 while Nitsche dropped to 910,000.
Manig Loeser still retains the chip lead and Wang Qiang has dropped off a little with the Chinese player and Mikita Badziakouski looking fairly evenly stacked with Gabe Patgorski, Steffen Sontheimer and Chan Wai Leong rounding out the top six stacks.
