Wai Leong Chan and Richard Yong Enter, Yan Pan Chan Re-Enters
There have been two new arrivals, with Main Event finalist Wai Leong Chan coming into the action along with Triton founder Richard Yong and Hong Kong's Yan Pan Chan has re-entered to bring the total number of entries up to 33, with 19 players now in action over four tables.
Chip leader Devan Tang and the second biggest stack Jason Koon have been moved to the newly opened fourth table along with Marius Torbergsen and the newly entered Wai Leong Chan and should the top two stacks clash in a hand (something highly likely with the fast pace of this game) then someone is going to be sitting on a mountain of chips.
An interesting three-way hand played out not long after the table opened and we picked up the action on a flop of just as Marius Torbergsen moved all-in from the button. Chan called all-in and Devan Tang, who had the pair easily covered, made the call and the cards were turned over.
Wai Leong Chan:
Devan Tang:
Marius Torbergsen:
Torbergsen had flopped a set, Chan two pair and Tang the straight and the turn saw Torbergsen improve to a boat. Things were looking bad for Chan, until the river saw him improve to a boat as well, meaning Tang's chips were divvied up between the pair, though the Hong Kong player still has heaps.
