Anyone who is familiar with the name Bobo Chen on the poker circuit will not be surprised to hear that he barely got a break as he was involved in a hand almost six minutes into the ten minutes that the players had to rest. Not much happened in the long hand.
In other news, the players are back to it with antes in play.

We missed the pre-flop action, but Kuo was in the big blind for an ace-high flop of . She checked to Yang, then called a bet of 1,200. She also checked the turn. Yang didn't slow down, firing another 3,500 into the pot. Kuo eyeballed Yang's stack, cut out what looked like raising chips, and tanked for a few minutes. She finally flashed and mucked her hand.
We aren't sure how she busted, but returning from the break with have noticed that Jay Tan is now sitting in a nearby cash game.
