Hongbin Du At Almost Double Starting Stack

Level 3: 200 / 400 ante: 400

Wei-Chen Lin leads the way with a 1,000 open from the hijack and takes two players to the flop 8♥ 7♥ J♣ where his 1,400 c-bet gets called only by small blind Hongbin Du - 8th place finisher in the Mystery Bounty last night - to reveal the turn T♦ that gets checked to complete the board 9♦ . Taking over the reins, Du leads 4,200 and scoops the pot.
