We have a couple of early bust outs but with registration open, they can still jump back in. With a 50,000 starting stack and blinds at 600-1200 ante 200, that should give new players around 40 or more big blinds.
The first casualty happened on the first hand and it was quite a sick cooler. Only three players were at the table. Hazel Chui Yuen Shan was all in with K♣ K♠ and Bobby Zhang was all in as well with A♥ A♦. Zhang went on to double up, Shan dropped to 5k, then busted two hands later.
At another table, Main Event champion Hung Sheng Lin was eliminated. We didn’t see his hand but we did get a quick look at the winner’s hand as the pot was being shipped. Jin Qiang Shi had 4-7 on a board 4-A-6-4-5 for trips. We will try to get Hung’s hand during the break.
