Level 3: 200 / 400 ante: 400

Ho-Tai Tsai

John Daenzel David four-bet jammed for 18,800 from under the gun and cutoff three-bettor Ho-Tai Tsai, who had made it 4,400 to go, was the only caller as the small blind got out of the way. The hot streak early on for Tsai continued, as his kings held versus ace-jack to knock out another opponent.
