11:20 p.m: Top two for Tsuchikawa
Patrick Kar Keng Lee opened to 200,000 from the button and Tetsuya Tsuchikawa defended his big blind before the [3s][4d][Jh] flop was checked through.
When the turn landed the [Qh], Tsuchikawa checked and Lee fired a delayed continuation-bet of 250,000 only to have Tsuchikawa check-raise to 650,000.
Lee went deep into the tank before asking, "Is my queen any good?"
Lee flashed his [Qc] and folded, and Tsuchikawa kindly flashed his [Qs][Jc] for two-pair to take the pot and move back to 2 million.
11:15 p.m: Lee surging ahead
Patrick Kar Keng Lee is continuing to surge ahead.
On the two most recent hands, Tetsuya Tsuchikawa opened the button to 200,000 only to have Lee three-bet to 600,000 to force Tsuchikawa to fold. The next hand Lee successfully opened his button to 200,000 to force Tsuchikawa to fold once again before the Japanese player gave Lee a walk on the third hand.
11:10 p.m: Lee chips up
After a few walks to kick off the heads-up battle, finally we saw a juicy pot develop when Patrick Kar Keng Lee opened the button to 200,000 and Tetsuya Tsuchikawa called as the dealer dropped a [7c][8d][10s] flop.
Tsuchikawa checked and Lee pushed out a continuation-bet of 250,000 which Tsuchikawa called as the [Kh] landed on the turn. Tsuchikawa checked, but after Lee fired his second barrel -- this one amounting to 600,000 -- Tsuchikawa kicked his cards to the muck.
Lee flashed his [7d][7s] for bottom set to capture the pot to move to 5,370,000 as Tsuchikawa slipped to 1,800,000 in chips.

10:40 p.m: Xiaobo Zhou eliminated in 3rd place (HK$425,400)
Tetsuya Tsuchikawa shoved from the small blind and Xiaobo Zhou called off his 865,000-chip stack from the big.
Tsuchikawa: [Kd][3d]
Zhou: [Ah][7h]
The [Jc][2d][Jd] flop gave Zhou more outs to avoid with any diamond also seeing him relinquish the lead. Unfortunately for the Chinese player, the [7d] would pop up on the turn, and although he still had full house outs, the [10s] would complete the board to send him to the rail in 3rd place for a HK$425,400 collect as Tsuchikawa and Patrick Kar Keng Lee are left heads-up.


Xiaobo Zhou -- 3rd place
