Tsai Doubles Through Li on Slowplayed Aces

Level 10: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Cheng-Lung Tsai opened to 2,500 first to act and was called by Snehil Aggarwal in middle position. Shuang Li then squeezed to 8,500 from the small blind, which got a call from Tsai and a fold from Aggarwal.

Li moved all in on the 10c 10h 8♥ flop and Tsai quickly called all in for 17,700 total.

Cheng-Lung Tsai: A♥ A♦

Shuang Li: Q♣ Q♦

Tsai had been slowplaying rockets, and the 5♠ 4♠ runout kept him best to be awarded the double up.

Wong Empties the Clip

Level 9: 500 / 1,000 ante: 1,000

Xin Ann Lim opened to 2,000 first to act and Chee Siang Wong defended his big blind.

Wong checked to Lim, who bet 2,000 on the 4♥ 8♠ 7♣ flop. Wong then check-raised to 6,500 and Lim called.

Lim called a 9,500 barrel from Wong on the 3♥ turn, but folded after a bit of a tank after Wong shoved for a bit under 30,000 on the 2♠ river.

Kway Drills the River to Bust Yu in Three-Way Clash

Level 8: 400 / 800 ante: 800

Fook Keong Chow, Guodi Yu, and Kim Soon Kway were already all in preflop, with Chow holding the largest stack, while Yu was on the short stack.

Guodi Yu: A♠ J♠

Kim Soon Kway: K♥ Q♠

Fook Keong Chow: A♥ 5♥

Yu held the lead and maintained it on the 6♠ 8♦ 2♣ flop and 3♣ turn; however, the K♠ river paired Kway's king - awarding him a near triple-up while Yu was sent to the rail.

Despite the hit to his stack, Chow still sits with a healthy 70,000 as the second break of the day approaches.

Level 7: 300 / 600 ante: 600

Xin Ann Lim raised to 1,200 from the cutoff and was called by Kok Yong Pang on the button and Chee Siang Wong in the big blind.

Wong checked to Lim, who continued for 1,500 on the K♣ 6♥ 4♦ flop. Pang called and then Wong moved all in for his last 3,600 total. Lim called to put him at risk and Pang got out of the way.

Chee Siang Wong: T♠ 4♥

Xin Ann Lim: 9♠ 9♥

Lim was well ahead with his pocket nines and the 5♦ A♥ runout changed nothing to eliminate Wong.

Level 7: 300 / 600 ante: 600

Hui Cong Shim was already all in from the small blind for his last 8,500 against Mun Leong Cheong, who had Shim covered from the cutoff.

Hui Cong Shim: K♠ Q♣

Mun Leong Cheong: A♦ 8♥

It was a fair fight, with Cheong holding a slight lead with his ace, but the 7♠ 3♦ 3♥ 8♣ 4♠ runout kept Cheong best with eights-up to score the knockout against Shim.

Singh Sends Lu Out

Level 7: 300 / 600 ante: 600

Action folded around to the blinds, where Nilansh Singh called from the small blind and Jiaji Lu checked his option in the big blind.

Singh bet 1,200 on the 3♦ 4♦ 5♣ flop and Lu moved all in for just under 10,000 total. Singh tanked a while before calling with a slightly covering stack.

Jiaji Lu: T♠ 6♣

Nilanshi Singh: Q♦ 5♠

It was the right call, as Singh was ahead with top pair against Lu's straight draw and overcards.

The Q♠ turn improved Singh to two pair and the 9♥ river bricked out - sending Lu to the rail,

Meanwhile, Chuyi Zhang, Eugene Zhou, and Thambara Thatsara Henegama Liyanage were the other latest players to be eliminated.

Jiaji Lu opened from the hijack and found callers in both Hongyi Huang on the button and Suryanto Dedy in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Dedy checked and Lu bet 1,200 on the 9♦ A♦ 2♠ flop. Both Huang and Dedy called.

The K♥ landed on the turn and it was checked to Huang, who took the initiative with a bet of 4,000.

Neither Dedy nor Lu wanted anything to do with and quickly folded - conceding the pot to Huang.

Level 5: 200 / 400 ante: 400

Xin Ann Lim opened to 800 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 2,800 by Rahat Babyev on the button. Eugene Zhou called cold in the big blind and Lim called as well for an inflated three-way pot.

It was checked to Babayev, who bet 4,000 on the 4♠ A♠ 6♦ flop. Lim called and Zhou folded.

Lim checked again on the 2♥ turn and Babayev quickly moved all in for his last 8,000. Lim verified the amount and stuck in a call to put Babayev at risk.

Rahat Babayev: K♠ 9♠

Xin Ann Lim: A♣ 5♣

Babayev was drawing to a flush against Lim's pair of aces, but the 3♥ river left Lim best with a Wheel to eliminate Babayev.

An eruption broke out at Table 3 during a three-way showdown. Khoon Fong Chee had Q♠ J♠ in front of him on a completed board of 9♣ A♠ T♠ K♠ J♣ for a Royal Flush, scooping the pot while eliminating both Mengdian Peng and Leonardo Louis in spectacular fashion.

Level 4: 200 / 300 ante: 300

Leonardo Louis raised to 1,200 from the hijack and was called by Kaojia Hou in the cutoff. Mengdian Peng then squeezed to 4,200 on the button, which got a fold from Louis and a call from Hou.

Hou check-called a 2,200 bet from Peng on the 6♠ 3♥ 7♠ flop, and checked again after the K♥ fell on the turn.

Peng sized up for a bet of 8,000 and Hou promptly moved his entire stack into the middle, which was enough to put Peng all in for his last 10,000.

Peng tossed all of his time banks into the middle and used up a couple of them before letting his hand go - sending a nice pot over to Hou.

Level 3: 100 / 300 ante: 300

Keong Chow Fook raised to 1,000 on the button and was three bet to 2,000 by Guibin Lin in the big blind. Fook quickly announced he was all in, which was met with a "C'mon!" and a snap-call from Lin for a bit under 8,000 total.

Guibin Lin: A♠ K♣

Fook Keong Chow: A♦ 9♦

Lin got his chips in good, and was poised to double after the 8♥ T♦ A♥ flop.

The 7♣ turn improved Chow to an open-ended straight draw, however, and the J♦ river filled it to eliminate Lin in dramatic fashion early on Day 1/B.

Level 1: 100 / 100 ante: 100

Muhammed Razeen Rahmathulla opened to 300 from the cutoff and was called by Guibin Lin on the button and Liang Xu in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Xu checked to Rahmathulla, who continued for 500 on the 4♣ 6♣ Q♦ flop. Lin called, but Xu then check-raised to 1,500. Rahmathulla called and Lin got out of the way.

Xu slowed down and checked on the J♦ turn, prompting a 3,000 bet from Rahmathulla. Xu called.

The 9♥ completed the board and Xu checked a final time. Rahmathulla put a hefty 11,000 bet into the middle - sending Xu deep into the tank.

"My kicker is not that good, man," Xu said. "You're not afraid I have two pair?"

No response from Rahmathulla.

Xu eventually folded and offered a, "Nice hand, nice hand," to Rahmathulla, who was sent the pot and will be looking for redemption after bubbling Day 2 yesterday.

At another table, Bransom Lim was the first player eliminated.

Main Event Day 1/B Set to Get Underway at 11 a.m.

Welcome back to Genting Highlands, where the second of 13 starting flights in Event #34: Main Event (MYR 4M GTD) will begin at 11 a.m. local time for another full day of poker action.

Last night during Day 1/A, it was Apicha Dechacharoensiri of Taiwan who emerged as the chip leader after edging out Gagandeep Singh Malik on the last hand of play to end with 327,000. Malik, who quickly spun up his stack after joining late, is sitting just behind Dechacharoensiri with 320,000. Sitting a not-too-distant third is Singapore's Daniel Lim with 264,000.

Day 1/B follows an identical structure to Day 1/A. Everyone starts with 20,000 in chips, with play beginning at 100/100 blinds with a 100 big-blind ante. Levels will last 30 minutes each and 15-minute breaks will be held after every four levels. Late registration for Day 1/B will close at the start of Level 9 (~3:30 p.m.) Play will conclude once the field reaches 10 percent of the field remaining - at which point the surviving players will have secured a spot in the money and advanced to Day 2.

For those looking to earn a Day 2 seat later on in the week or in a faster structure, additional flights of varying structures are available. Here's a look at the remaining Main Event schedule:
