Chiu Pressures Zwaine
The rich are getting richer, with Edwin Chiu pushing John Zwaine off a sizable pot to further increase his stranglehold on the tournament.
It was Zwaine who was the pre-flop raiser, making it 600,000 to go from under-the-gun with both Chiu and Steven Zhou making the call from the small and big blind respectively.
The 
flop saw both Chiu and Zhou check the action over to Zwaine, who continuation bet 1.3-million, only to see Chiu reach for raising chips, sliding out two towers of dark blue for a check-raise to 4-million in total.
Zhou's cards hit the muck immediately and Zwaine paid and an extremely lengthy visit to the think tank. After a few minutes there, he began to quiz Chiu to gauge his strength.
"Edwin, do you want me to call?"
Chiu sat still as a statue, giving nothing away and eventually Zwaine decided to let his hand go, dropping to 2.85-million, leaving Chiu free to scoop the sizable pot.
