Adrian Esslen and Lam Kim Long win some off the leader


Chip leader Nguyen Hoang Anh has just lost two pots but it didn’t’ seem to hurt his stack too much. The first pot saw him raise to 520k and Adrian Esslen called on the big blind. At the flop 2 J 9, Esslen checked to Nguyen who continued with a 630k bet. Esslen called. On the A turn and 4 river, no bets arrived and Esslen won with 7 9 pair.

The next losing pot for the leader was up against Lam Kim Long. Nguyen limped in then called Long’s 650k raise. At the flop 8 J 3, Nguyen led for 625k, Long raised to 1.73m, and won it with Nguyen folding up. Nguyen showed his J top pair. Long returned the gesture and showed his A J.

Nguyen still sitting on 10M despite the loss.
