Hao Folds Out Yong, Badziakouski Takes From Holz
We were lurking by current frontrunner Tony Cheng’s table hoping to get the Hong Kong player in action and were rewarded with a small hand, but it ended almost as soon as it started. Action folded around to Cheng on the button and he made it 14,000 to go before a short-stacked Lucas Greenwood moved all-in from the big blind for close to 90,000. Cheng folded instantly and Greenwood stacked up to 110,000.
Former Triton SHR Champion Wai Kin Yong opened the next hand with a raise to 12,000 from the hi-jack with neighbor and 6-Max runner up Su Hao then re-raising to 27,000 from the cutoff.
Action folded back around to Yong who looked over at Hao for a while before tossing out the call and it was heads-up to a monochrome flop of 
.
Yong checked, Hao slid out a single turquoise 25k chip and Yong folded immediately, dropping down to 257,000 while Hao climbed up to 315,000.
We were rewarded with a slightly more exciting hand over on Fedor Holz table and caught the German player involved in a hand against the big-stacked Mikita Badziakouski.
Holz, sitting in the cutoff, was the player in position and there was close to 25,000 in the pot with the flop spread 
. Badziakouski had just checked the action over to Holz, who bet 8,000, which the Belarusian called after a few seconds thinking things over.
The 
turn saw Badziakouski check for a second time and Holz fired again, this time for a slightly larger 27,000. Badziakouski thought things over for a little longer but eventually slid in the call and it was off to the 
river.
That was it for the betting and, first to act, Badziaksouki turned over 
for two pair – tens and fives – and Holz threw his hand away to drop down to 133,000 while Badziakouski climbed to 715,000.
