Easing into the Action
Play has been underway for a little over 15-minutes now and there have been no significant pots or clashes so far. Manig Loeser got to play the button twice, as with Wang Qiang��s elimination from the big blind on Day 2 there is just Peter Chan paying a single big blind for the first hand.
Loeser took down the first two pots pre-flop after raising from the button twice before the first flop of the final table was dealt on hand three.
It was a pretty uneventful hand though, with John Juanda limping from the small blind and Richard Yong checking his option in the big blind. Juanda checked the [tqh7d8s] flop over to Yong who took a stab for 50,000, which Juanda called.
The 
turn saw both players check and Juanda took down the pot with a 170,000 bet after the 
hit the river.
Loeser re-invested some of his stolen blinds and antes the next hand, opening to 110,000 from the hi-jack with Peter Chan (cutoff) and Chan Wai Leong (big blind) making the call taking the action three-way to a flop of 
which was checked all around.
Leong took down the pot on the 
turn with a 190,000 bet with both Loeser and Chan folding.
