Ekrami Getting Short, Le Doubles Through Wang
Kamyar Ekrami has been dropping down the counts since losing that pot to Andrew Hindmarch, with Yalcin Kaya pushing Ekrami off a hand to take him into the danger zone.
However, it's not over for the Day 1 frontrunner yet, and Ekrami earned a double through Adrian Rarung after the two battled it out in the blinds, with Ekrami jamming the 
flop for the last of his chips.

respectively to give Ekrami a much needed double with two pair and he climbed to 80,000, while Rarung dropped to 130,000.
Over on the other non-feature table, Tu Le and Jun Wang got all the chips in on a 
flop, with Le the at-risk player.

Jun Wang: 
Running fours on the 
turn and 
river saw Le make a boat to double to 154,000, with Wang dropping down to 270,000 after paying his opponent off.
