The board ran out and O’Dywer headed for the rail while Hao stacked up to 245,000.

Holz’ fellow countryman Manig Loeser has also been busy and has run his stack up to around 200,000.

While 18 players returned after the break, this quickly became 17 as we were scouting the room for chip counts, arriving at Keith Gipson’s table just in time to witness his demise.

Yong Squeezes for Victory, Wang Takes from Holz

RazorSharpPro

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Richard Yong has just won a decent sized pot without showdown after squeezing out Winfred Yu and Xuan Tan. Pre-flop it was Yu who was the initial aggressor on the button, making it 5,300 to go.

Small blind Tan then re-raised to 13,000 in total only to see Yong quickly move all-in for 52,100. Yu folded immediately and Tan hit the think tank for a good couple of minutes before eventually electing to give it up leaving Yong free to scoop the 20,000-pot without showdown.

Fedor Holz has dropped some chips but still looks to be the current leader, though he has recently lost a hand to Zuo Wang. Pre-flop it was Holz who was the initial aggressor, making it 5,500 to go from under-the-gun before action folded around to Wang on the button.

The Chinese player took his time over it but chose to re-raise to 13,500 in total and after both the blinds bowed out the action was back on Holz, who made a quick call.

The flop saw Holz check the action over to Wang, who did not take long to continuation bet 11,000 and the German player folded instantly. Holz dropped to 200,000 after the hand and still remains in front while Wang climbed to 120,000 after the hand. Play has paused for a 15-minute break while the black 100 chips are raced off so stick around and we will return shortly.

Player	Chips	Progress
Fedor Holz	200,000	10,000
Xuan Tan	165,000	25,000
Zuo Wang	120,000	57,000
Richard Yong	72,000	9,000
Winfred Yu	40,000	-9,600

Peters Doubles Gipson, Busts to Loeser, Cheong Wins From Wu

RazorSharpPro

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Despite doubling up earlier against Manig Loeser David Peters was unable to capitalize and took a big hit against Keith Gipson with all the chips finding their way into the middle pre-flop, with Peters the man to shove first with from the button and Gipson calling with from the big blind.

Gipson’s hand held and he climbed to 124,000 while Peters was left with 16,500. The US player managed to steal some blinds and antes but eventually fell afoul of Manig Loeser.

Peters moved all-in from the button for the last of his chips (around 8 big blinds) with and Loeser woke up in the small blind with , which held to see Loeser climb to 121,000 while Peters headed for the exit.

We caught the tail end of a sizable pot that had developed between former front-runner Benjamin Wu (big blind) and Cheok Ieng Cheong (under-the-gun) immediately after Peters’ exit.

There was already over 60,000 in blinds and antes in the pot with the community cards spread and Wu was mulling over his options as we arrived. Eventually, the US player elected to check it over to Cheong, who tanked for quite some time before checking it back.

We are not sure what the action was but evidently, Wu, holding had convinced Cheong, holding , that he had a hand significantly more impressive than a pair of sixes. The chunky pot was shipped Cheong’s way and he climbed to 150,000 while Wu dropped to 80,000 after the hand.
