A Little Lull
After all the early carnage the seven remaining players are taking it slow at present and while there have been plenty of flops most pots have remained small and there is a lot of blind versus blind action.
There has however, been no significant hands. The most interesting one we have seen saw Sam Cheong make it 1,000 to go from middle position with Fat Cheong Wong (cutoff) and Justin Chan (big blind) making the call to take the action three-way to a flop of 
.
Chan checked it over to Cheong, who checked it over to Wong and the dealer burned and turned the 
. This saw Chan reach for chips and he took a stab for 2,500 with Cheong the only caller.
The 
river brought in trips and Chan checked it over to Cheong, who tossed in a single blue 5,000 chip. Chan rechecked his cards and eventually folded leaving Cheong to take down the pot.
