Zhao Folds Out Fung
Players are taking advantage of the additional level length by taking their time over some of their decisions, and the atmosphere is one of studious determination as they knuckle down for the tournament grind, all looking to build their stack and make it through to Day 3 and the money.
Over on table ten, we caught Qing Zhao taking advantage of his late position with a raise to 3,700 from the cutoff. Action folded around to Ka Kiu Fung in the small blind, who looks a little like a bandit in a Western movie, sans Stetson, with his patterned bandana pulled up to his nose.
Fung decided to play sheriff rather than bandit and reached for raising chips, making it 9,000 to go, with Zhao tossing in the extras to take play heads-up to a flop of 
.
Both players had over 100,000 in chips each at the start of the hand and Fung sat motionless for several seconds, expression unreadable under his fashion accessory, before checking the action over to Zhao, who decided to test the waters with a bet of 7,000. Fung flicked the call off the top of his stack after some time in the think tank.
The 
turn brought another check from Fung and another bet from Zhao, this one for 16,000, which was enough to push Fung off his hand, and Zhao stacked up his newly won chips to climb to 125,000, with Fung dropping to 145,000.
