The two remaining Main Event players are on a 10-minute break
Level 22
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
There have not been all that many flops so far with both players taking it in turns to steal each other’s blinds, or else re-raise from the small blind and take down the pot pre-flop that way.
We got to see a rare hand that played down all the way to the river though, and it was one that saw Je Ho Lee extend his lead.
Lee was on the button and made it 400,000 to go and Sparrow Cheung made the call. Cheung checked the 
flop over to Lee, who fired for 400,000, which Cheung called and the 
came in on the turn.
The action went check, check and the ace repeated with the 
hitting the river. Cheung checked and after thinking it over Lee bet 750,000. Cheung tanked for quite some time before making the call, but could only muck when Lee showed 
for a pair of nines to take the hand and pull further in front.

Level 22
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Both remaining players, Korea’s Je Ho Lee and Hong Kong’s Sparrow Cheung have reached an accord.
The two came to an Independent Chip Model chop based on their respective stack sizes meaning Lee would be guaranteed HK$1,605,472 and Cheung HK$1,445,528.
The two have also decided to speed up the clock and will now be playing 20-minute levels.
Level 22
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
As the shortest stack Danny Tang would need a double to bring himself back into contention so when Je Ho Lee opened the action with a raise to 300,000 from the button Tang decided to make a stand and moved all-in for his last 2.65 million from the small blind. Lee called quickly and the cards were turned over.
Danny Tang: 
Je Ho Lee: 
It was a race, and it was one Lee took the lead in on the monochrome 
flop, though Tang was still drawing live with 11 outs and any heart or deuce would see him double. Tang’s watching rail pressed close calling for a heart but the 
turn was of no help and neither was the 
river. Tang shook Lee and Cheung’s hands and headed off to collect the equivalent of $82,300 and Lee stacked up to 13,250,000 to Cheung’s 8,830,000.
The two remaining players are once again crunching the numbers and talking deals.

Level 22
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Je Ho Lee won the first hand back with a pre-flop raise, and then the other two players took it in turns to do the same. An orbit later we got to see a flop when Je Ho Lee raised to 300,000 from the button and Sparrow Cheung defended from the small blind.
However, the 
flop was checked and there was no further betting in the hand with the 
turn and 
river all eliciting no action, meaning Cheung’s 
five-high flush was enough to win the pot.

Level 22
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
There has been no deal, the cards are now back in the air and there is 50-minutes remaining on level 22.
Level 22
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
The three remaining players, Je Ho Lee, Danny Tang and Sparrow Cheung, are still crunching the numbers and are trying to come to an accommodation that suits everyone. As a result, there have been no more hands dealt since the elimination of Lim Chin Wei. As soon as the three come to an accord we will let you know all the details.
Level 22
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Play had not long resumed after the break before the now short-stacked Lim Chin Wei moved the last of his chips in pre-flop from the button and was looked up by Je Ho Lee in the big blind.
Lim Chin Wei: 
Je Ho Lee: 
Things really have not gone Wei’s way today and you could not help but feel bad for the Malaysian after that last queens versus tens hand.
Things did not improve for Wei in this hand either with the 
runout bringing his final table to a close.
Wei headed for the rail for the equivalent of a ~$63,239 payday while Lee stacked up to 10.1 million. The clock has now been paused while the three remaining Main Event players discuss the possibility of a deal.
