Li Blocks Out Sun, Haxton Enters the Fray

With deep stacks and long levels you might expect play to start slowly and build to a crescendo and play progresses, but that is not the case here on Day1A of the PokerStars Championship Macau Main Event.
Two players who are throwing the chips presently around are Liwei Sun and Mingwei Li. Sitting in the cutoff Li had a bet totalling 1,250 out on the felt and Sun (button) had re-raised to 3,325.

It looked like Li had packed his sunblock though and tossed in another raise, this one a rather hefty bet of 7,850 in total. That was enough to get Sun to give it up rather quickly and he pitched his cards into the muck, leaving Li to take down the pot.

Yet another high roller has entered the fray. After just busting the Super High Roller in 13th place for HK$676,000 Isaac Haxton has recently taken his seat in the main event.
