Quadruple for Phua, Exit for Patgorski
Players are moving around so much and busting and re-entering at such a rapid pace it is tough to keep tabs on all the action. Phil Ivey has been moved over to Devan Tang and Jason Koon's table and looks to be sitting on 500,000 and Furkat Rakhimov has busted and re-entered and has recently been sat at the same table.
Dan Cates and Elton Tsang have been moved over to Alan Sass and Richard Yong's table and on the next table over Gabe Patgorski has just busted to Paul Phua and does not look to be coming back in, at least for now at any rate.
Patgorski's bust-out has been a typical example of the action witnessed so far today, with Paul Phua instigating things by moving all-in from under-the-gun. Neighbor Hau Lim Chan slammed down the call, as did Patgorski and the recently arrived Rui Cao, fresh from his Main Event final table appearance, also decided to come along for the ride.
Paul Phua: 
Hau Lim Chan: 
Gabe Patgorski: 
Rui Cao: 
The 
flop brought something for everyone but Patgorski, though Phua was still leading and this remained the case all the way through the 
turn and 
river to see the Malaysian quadrupled to 550,000 or so, Chan drop to 200,000, Patgorski hit the rail, and Cao bust his first bullet of his initial buy-in.
"Thanks for coming Rui!" said a chuckling Phua as he reached over to swipe Cao's stack from under his nose as Cao called for another bullet.
