Yang Wang raised it up from the button to 2,500 and Shunu Zang called from the small blind before Yu Liang pumped it up to 10,500 from the big blind. Yang called and Zang bowed out to take play heads-up to a 
flop.
This brought checks from both players and the 
hit the turn, which brought more checks and the 
river saw this trend repeat. Liang rolled over 
and Wang had 
for an anti-climatic chop.

Zuo Wang opened to 2,500 from under-the-gun and Daniel Dvoress made the call, as did JC Alvarado in the big blind and it��s three-way to a flop of 
which is checked all around.
Action checked around to Dvoress on the 
turn and he took a stab for 3,500 with Alvarado the only caller.
The 
river is all check once more, Alvarado rolled over 
and Dvoress mucked.

There are 10 registered players so far on two 5-handed tables �C we��ll try to get all those names up shortly.
Timothy Adams kick started the action with a raise from under-the-gun to 2,300 and Sheng Sun made the call from the button before Yang Wang squeezed to 7,800 from the small blind. Big blind Yu Liang folded, as did Adams but Sun wanted to see a flop and called.
The flop fell 
which brought a 12,500 bet from Wang, and after thinking it over briefly Sun let it go.

While the second of the two HK$200,000 Single Re-Entry Shot Clock events is scheduled to start at 12pm local time (GMT+7) these things have a habit of running slightly behind schedule and this event is no exception.
So far Daniel Neilson and Martin Kozlov have been seen wandering the poker room, but the latter is currently still in the HK$82,400 PLO High Roller.
If player numbers in the previous big buy-in events are anything to go by then this event should attract a decent sized field and we are sure it will only be a matter of time until cards are in the air however, so stick around and PokerNews will break you all the high-octane action as it happens.
All events of the 2017 PokerStars Championship Macau festival at the PokerStars Live Macau poker room at City of Dreams have shown excellent numbers thus far, and especially the High Roller tournaments convinced with decent fields and plenty of familiar names of the international poker circuit. Many of them will return for more glory in high-stakes tournaments, as a second edition of the HK$206,000 Single-Day High Roller (~$26,513) is scheduled to take place in one hour from now as of 12 p.m. local time.
The first HK$82,400 High Roller tournament ended with a three-way deal including Michael Addamo, Nick Petrangelo and Roman Korenev, while Steve O'Dwyer emerged victorious in the HK$400,000 Super High Roller after defeating German wunderkind Fedor Holz in heads-up. Quan Zhou came out on top of the first HK$206,000 Single-Day High Roller just two days ago, and Petrangelo once again finished second there in a 62-entry strong field that included 50 unique entrants and 12 re-entries.
Zhou is free to defend his title after being eliminated late on Day 1 of the HK$82,400 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller last night, which Sam Greenwood leads with 13 players remaining out of a 36-entry strong field. Only the top six spots will get paid and the winner will take home HK$950,000 for the efforts.
The Single-Day High Roller will feature the same format as the first edition with levels of 30 minutes each and a starting stack of 100,000, there will also be a 30-second shot clock which activates 5-seconds into every hand. Once this runs down players have three (30-second) time extension chips that come into play automatically once the initial 30-second clock has expired.
If a player has no more time bank chips and is first to act in the hand and there has been no action then they are counted as checking automatically. If there has been action and the player has no more time bank chips once the 30-seconds Shot Clock has counted down then their hand is declared dead �C unless of course, they have already acted.
A single re-entry is available during the first eight levels, and the registration will then close at the start of level nine. As usual, the PokerNews live reporting team will provide all the action from the tables on the way to crown another High Roller champion here in Macau
