Day 2 has begun with 54 players in the field. The tournament director has announced that they will try to reach the Final 8 and finish one day earlier. While the money round is still way’s away, the event will pay out 10 places. With the prize pool up on the screens, the lowest payout stands at HKD 72,200 and the highest at HKD 459,400.
Within the first 10 minutes of action here, two players have been eliminated and both at table 7. We missed how Bobby Zhang fell but we were right there when Alex Lee Hin Hwaa ran into a cooler against Stephen Nathan. Action began with Michael Soyza raising to 2500, Lee three-betting to 9500, Nathan bumped it up to 24k, Soyza got out of the way, Lee shoved, and a quick call by Nathan. Lee with K-K, Nathan with A-A. The board bricked. Nathan up to around 160k.
