Charles Chua came by media row just before play resumed and said that he had consumed half a bottle of whiskey at dinner to drown his sorrows from some beats that he took leading up to the last break. We thought he might be taking the piss but he had a bottle of whiskey on a service table near his seat and took several liberal swigs from it during the first few hands of post-dinner play.
Someone else must have thought it was not a good idea for Chua to be consuming so much booze while still alive in the tournament. During the recent all-in confrontation between Kuok Wai Will Cheong and Edward Sabat, the whiskey bottle disappeared from the service table.

Diwei Huang raised to 60,000 from the button before Edward Sabat popped it up to 225,000 from the big blind. Huang folded, flashing an ace as Sabat matched that with his own ace.
Sabat has certainly been the most unpredictable player at the table and now that he has some chips to play with we can expect him to continue to push the action after dinner.

With the dinner break approaching, play has slowed considerably. A raise before the flop has been enough to take the last several pots. We've also had a few limped pots that were taken down with a single bet on the flop.
