Soyza Powers into Lead, Double for Hang
Since the elimination of Liu Lifu, Michael Soyza had switched gears and had upped the aggression to take down serveral sizable pots without showdown. Soyza had edged into a significant lead with close to 9.5 million in chips before Zhong Yuan Hang had had enough and decided to make a stand.
Following yet another Soyza button raise Hang jammed in the rest of his 1.75 million stack in from the big blind with a harrumph. Soyza thought it over but now he had the chips to spare he decided to give Hang a spin and made the call.
Zhong Yuan Hang: 
Michael Soyza: 
Hang gave it a triumphant ‘yeah!’ and pounded the table when he saw that he had the lead and the flop came down 
to see Hang maintain the lead, though Soyza had flopped a gutshot draw to the wheel.
However, it did not come in with the 
turn and 
river locking up the hand for Hang and he doubled to 3.65 million.
