Dinner Break
The field has shrunk by one more, and we will endeavor to find out who has departed when we get some post-break chip counts in around 40 minutes as the 18 remaining Day 1C players are now on a 40-minute dinner break.
Nick Wong was busy before the break, running his 12,000 stack up to the giddy heights of 45,000 and Wei Tso has made a stellar recovery, running his short stack up to a much more respectable amount.
We caught Tso in action in a hand against Joey Wong and Percy Chao just before play paused. It was Wong who opened the action with a raise to 2,300 from the hi-jack, with Chao calling from the cutoff before Tso squeezed to 7,600 from the big blind, leaving himself close to 24,000 behind.
That was enough to get both Wong and Chao to give it up and Tso climbed back up to roughly 40,000 in chips. However, the man to catch is still Ka Meng Ho, who holds the chip lead still with a stack of 108,000.
