Yong Squeezes for Victory, Wang Takes from Holz
Richard Yong has just won a decent sized pot without showdown after squeezing out Winfred Yu and Xuan Tan. Pre-flop it was Yu who was the initial aggressor on the button, making it 5,300 to go.
Small blind Tan then re-raised to 13,000 in total only to see Yong quickly move all-in for 52,100. Yu folded immediately and Tan hit the think tank for a good couple of minutes before eventually electing to give it up leaving Yong free to scoop the 20,000-pot without showdown.
Fedor Holz has dropped some chips but still looks to be the current leader, though he has recently lost a hand to Zuo Wang. Pre-flop it was Holz who was the initial aggressor, making it 5,500 to go from under-the-gun before action folded around to Wang on the button.
The Chinese player took his time over it but chose to re-raise to 13,500 in total and after both the blinds bowed out the action was back on Holz, who made a quick call.
The 
flop saw Holz check the action over to Wang, who did not take long to continuation bet 11,000 and the German player folded instantly. Holz dropped to 200,000 after the hand and still remains in front while Wang climbed to 120,000 after the hand. Play has paused for a 15-minute break while the black 100 chips are raced off so stick around and we will return shortly.
