With the elimination of Sahashi Hideki, Hong Kong��s Danny Tang is the biggest stack with 5.7 million, though Lim Chin Wei is not all that far behind with 5 million.
Tang is now starting to target some of the shorter stacks and we caught him in action against the final tables�� now shortest stack Kosei Ichinose. We picked up the action on a flop of 
with over 400,000 already in the pot just as Ichinose checked the action over to Tang, who leveraged his huge stack to apply the pressure with a bet of 160,000. After some time spent thinking things over Ichinose slid in the call and the 
turn came in.
This was the last card of the hand though, as once Ichinose checked the action over to Tang he fired for 315,000, which represented more than 50 percent of the Japanese pro��s remaining chips and Ichinose reluctantly let it go.
Here��s how the final seven are stacking up:

flop was exactly the sort of board that Hideki was after, but unfortunately the 
turn and 
river were not the diamonds (or jack or queen) that he need to survive and he exited in 8th place for an HK$174,400 (~$22,325) payday while Tang stacked up to 5.4 million in chips.
