Noeung Troeung (pictured below) opened to 23,000 from under the gun, and Yimin Wang moved all-in for 172,000 from middle position. Senthuran Vijayaratnam, who had both players covered, isolated by moving all-in next to act, and Noeung threw in a calling chip, building a 7-figure pot.

Noeung caught a pair just in time, and ran his 446,000 count up to over 1,075,000, placing him amongst the leaders in these early stages of Day 3. Senthuran was left with around 230,000 after the hand.
We missed the hand, but Mike Leah was eliminated from the tournament around the same time as Yimin Wang, and both players collected $9,170.00 for their finish.
