Wang and Francolini Get Shoves Through, Double For Siu
After his earlier misadventure against chip leader Jeho Lee, Yang Wang has been quiet and is getting short. The Chinese player moved all-in from under-the-gun for 201,000 but found no customers to take the blinds and antes.
Another player who managed to get a shove through was Mauro Francolini, who moved all-in for 239,000 in total from the button, over the top of a Liang Song 35,000 cutoff open. Song tanked long and hard, but Francolini gave nothing away and the Chinese player eventually mucked his cards to drop to 650,000 and leave Francolini to scoop the blinds and antes.
Over on the feature table we arrived in time to see Hong Kong's Steven Siu catch a much needed double up at the expense of Jie Sun, with the two players getting all the chips in pre-flop.
Steven Siu: 
Jie Sun: 
It was a race, with Siu taking the lead on the 
flop. Siu had a sweat with the appearance of the 
turn, giving Sun a backdoor flush draw, but the 
river was a blank and saw Siu lock in the double, climbing to 400,000, while Sunn dropped to 100,000.
