Zhang Leads Heading into Dinner Break
The 31 remaining Day 1D players are about to head off on a 40-minute dinner break with registration closing once play resumes.
The current frontrunner is Bobby Zhang, and it appears that the Australian is the man to have finally put a halt to Gao Xing’s rapid ascension through the ranks and while she still has a sizable stack at least 50 percent of her chips are now sitting in front of Zhang.
Gab Yong Kim is a close second after taking down that massive pot earlier and still has close to 80,000 with the next largest stacks belonging to Ping Cheong Fung, Jack Wu and Canlin Chen.
Wu has just shipped a few chips in the direction of Carson Wong in what turned out to be quite an amusing hand. Wong, sitting in the small blind, had not noticed the fact that Wu had opened the action to 3,500 from early position and had moved all-in in an attempt to steal the big blind. After the initial confusion was sorted out Wu made the call and the cards were turned over.
Carson Wong: 
Jack Wu: 
Wong was not in good shape but he went from zero to hero extremely quickly when the 
hit the window with the rest of the board running out 
to give the Hong Kong player a timely double and he climbed to 33,000 while Wu dropped a little down to around 52,000.
