Cards in the Air
The cards are now in motion and the 55 Day 2B qualifiers have been joined by 21 fresh faces and some familiar ones. Hong Kong��s Justin Chan finally won himself a Day 2 seat, qualifying via the last chance turbo flight on Wednesday, 29 November, though it has taken him 8 bullets to get here.
Linh Tran has re-entered after failing to make the cut yesterday and Bulgaria��s Atanas Kavrakov is back in action after busting at the hands of Day 2A top dog Wai Kiat Lee.
However, it is some of Kavrakov��s tablemates we caught in action in the following hand. Action folded around to China��s Ping Cheong Fung on the button and he made it 2,800 to go with Japan��s Yukio Imanishi the only caller in the big blind.
The flop came down a monochrome and Imanishi peeked at his cards for a quick spade check and then checked the action to Fung, who continuation bet 4,000, which was called and it was off to the turn.
Imanishi checked again and Fung checked it right back and the landed on the river to pair the board and bring in a fourth spade. Both players checked once more and Imanishi took down the hand with after Fung mucked.
