Flight B is done! Players who survived the day are bagging their chips as we speak. We will provide a full recap of the day shortly.

Chunlung Wong limped in from the small blind, and Hun Te Le raised to 4,500. Wong then shoved all in for 46,000 and was snap-called by Le.

Hun Te Le 9♣ 9♦

Chunlung Wong A♠ Q♦

The board ran out 2♣ A♥ 5♦ Q♦ 3♣, pairing with Wong’s ace-queen for two pair against the pocket nines of Le, and Wong scored a double-up.

We picked up on very aggressive action on the turn between Yoshihiko Hirano at big blind and Yita Choong at middle position with a board that showed 7♠ 7♦ 6♥ T♥. Hirano check-raised Choong to 21,000 after the latter bet 7,700 into the pot.

Choong looked at Hirano as if trying to read his mind then made the call. The river K♣ got a bet of 20,000 from Hirano. Choong tanked and, shook his head numerous times before finally folding his hand.

It was very evident that it was a very hard fold for Choong and that he was second guessing his decision. The dealer pushed the chips towards Hirano and before Hirano surrendered his cards, he was kind enough to show Choong one card - 7♥

We are at the last 7 hands before the day ends.

Tsz Kit Chau limped in from the small blind and Keshu Peng checked through from the big blind.

Chau bet 2,000 on the flop of 4♣ 3♣ 8♥ before Peng snap-folded.

Ruizi Lin opened by raising to 2,800 at mid-position and got called by Sho Katsura. Ryoji Nigishi at the button three-bet to 8,500 just to be followed by an all-in shove from Chen Jung Liu at the button. The blinds folded to Lin who asked for a count from the dealer. After considering his options he decided to fold. Katsura folded as well.

Nigishi, however, made the call to show K♠ K♦ versus A♣ A♥ The dealer dealt 6♦ 8♦ 6♠ 5♠ Q♥ and pushed the chips Liu.

Nicolas Burgevin opened to 4,000 on the button, and Obarra Sohei called from the big blind.

Burgevin bet 2,500 on the flop of K♦ T♣ 5♠ which Sohei snap-folded.

Tsubasa Miyazaki raised to 2,500 on the button and was called by Chao Ting Cheng from the small blind.

Miyazaki fired 2,500 on the paired K♦ K♥ 9♣ flop, and Cheng raised to 4,500 which made Miyazaki fold at the end.
