Three Down

Three players have just departed in quick succession. The first of the paying casualties of the day was Taiwan's Chia-Hui Tu, and though he was dressed like he meant business, Tu could not spin his short stack up and has hit the rail in 31st place for a TWD 50,500 payday.

Chen An Lin became the second paying casualty quickly afterward, immediately followed by Singapore's Richard Lim.

Left short after doubling Zong-Ping Yang, Lin got the last of his chips in preflop with pocket fives, only to run into Wing Kei Chan's pocket kings to hit the rail in 31st place, also for a TWD 50,500 payday.

Lim fell at the hands of Sheng-Chien Cheng shorty after Lin departed, moving all-in preflop with over the top of a Cheng late postion open. Cheng looked him up with and the runout came to bring Lim's Main Event to a close.
