Zha and Hu Tied for Lead
While it is tough to guess Haoyu Hu’s exact stack size it appears that he has a contender for the top spot with Weizhou Zha making a run at the leaderboard.
We caught Zha in action in a three-way hand against Wen Zhen and Alex Lee on a flop of 
with 18,000 in blinds and antes already in the pot.
While we do not know who was the pre-flop aggressor we do know that Zhen is the man to act first and he fired out a 14,000 bet from the big blind which both Lee (middle position) and Zha, (cutoff) both call.
The 
turn saw Zhen slow down and check, with Lee checking behind. Zha however, showed no such restraint and reached for betting chips, making it 35,000 to go.
Zhen quickly called and Lee folded to take play heads-up to the 
river. Zhen checked, as did Zha and while Zhen turned over 
for top pair, it was not enough to beat Zha’s 
and he scooped in the pot to climb to 420,000 while Zhen dropped to 91,000.
We are not sure if this gives Zha the lead but it’s pretty close between him and Haoyu Hu and that brings us to the second break of the day.
