Three ways to the J♥ 3♠ 2♣ flop, only Ngoc Minh Le check-calls for 4,600 when table chip leader Xiaosheng Zheng bets and then checks the K♦ turn. Zheng fires another 13,600 and that wins the pot right there.

Zheng approaches five starting stacks and is firmly in the top ten of the leaderboard right now.

A player is all in from the button for about 4,000 with K♦ J♥ , and he needs it to hold to stay alive against the K♥ T♥ of Xiaosheng Zheng, who is UTG+1.

The board comes Q♥ T♣ 4♥ 8♣ 8♠ , and the short stack flops an open-ended straight draw against Zheng's pair of tens, but improves no further. Zheng wins the pot with his tens to eliminate the short stack.
