Main Event - Flight A
Urai yields to Tai

Being among the chip leaders, Japan's Shota Urai tries to assert his might as he raises from the D for 1,600 but is called by Tai Weiliang of Singapore, defending his BB.
The flop of 2♥ 9♣ 6♣ does nothing as both check.
However, the turn of the 5♦ draws action as Wei leads out for 4,000 and gets raised by Urai for 9,000 as the Chinese player calls.
The river card of K♠ sees Tai going all in for 19,300. Urai considers for a moment but ultimately folds and momentarily loses his stranglehold of third overall in chips.

Fusco checks and Urai leads out for 1,000. Fusco calls.

The Australian shows A♦ J♠ . Urai sheepishly mucks his hand.
