The new blinds are 1,500-3,000 with a big blind ante of 3,000 and the screens show 17 players out of 20 entries remaining.
Melvyn Liwanpo remains the chip leader by some margin and was involved in a battle of the blinds against Chien Hung Chi. He bet the K ♠️ 10 ♠️ 5 ♠️ flop for 7,000 and Chi raised to 18,000.
Having been very vocal previously, Liwanpo talked through the motions in near silence and eventually folded.
