Wang Scalps Two
Action has resumed following the break and the field has been thinned by two, courtesy of Ke Wang, who is responsible for both bustouts in back-to-back hands.
We arrived to catch the aftermath of the first, with Hong Kong's Kwok Chun 'Derx' Lai on his feet as stacks were being counted down. Lai's cards were already in the muck, with Wang having face up on the felt in front of him, having flopped a set of sixes in the big blind.
Lai was covered and headed for the exit as Wang stacked up to 480,000, which he added to the very next hand. It was one-time chip leader Shi Qiang Lin who instigated the action, opening to 34,000 from under-the-gun.
It folded around to Yue Feng Tang, who moved all-in for his last 122,000. Wang seemed keen, asking for a count before making the call, which was enough to convince Lin to get out of the way.
Yue Feng Tang:
Ke Wang:
Tang was at-risk and behind, and stayed that way when the cards ran out to give Wang the win. Tang is out and Wang is up to 675,000.
