Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

James Hartigan was quivering with excitement as he made his way over to the media desk shortly after busting Terence Jordon (who has since rebought).

"Report this now because this may never happen again!", said Hartigan. "I'm chip leader... I've never been chip leader."

Hartigan made a full house, sevens full of fives, against Jordon's trip fives early on in the tournament to take the lead.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

The first hands of the day were being dealt and already the all-in triangle was in the middle of the table.

Action was on the river on a board of K♦J♣Q♣3♦Q♠. Ji Yuzheng checked and Joseph Pateman put out a bet. Yuzheng then check-raised all in. Pateman weighed it up and then made the call.

Yuzheng showed K♥K♠. He'd flopped a set and made a full house by the river. Pateman mucked his hand and exited the table as Yuzheng scooped the pot for an early double up.
