The top ten stacks in Flight C can be found below:

We get to the table with the big blind Yu Chuan Tsai raising to 4,500, called by under-the-gun player Dhanapon Singklavanji and Andy Chen at cut-off. The flop came down 9♦ 4♥ J♦ and Tsai continued to bet with 3,000. Singklavanji folded but Chen called again.

With a J♠ turn, Tsai continued firing with 5,500 but Chen decided to reraise him for 15,000. Tsai took his time to think about what his action will be, eventually deciding to fold his hand.
