After a scramble to get all the admin work done, there have been exactly 54 HK$1,000,000 rebuys made. Added with the 71 official entrants, that means the prize pool has weighed in at HK$119,375,000 (Approx. US$16,250,000). We will have all the full payout information posted as soon as it is made available.
In other news, the cards are back in the air and the players have been told they will now be playing just three more levels before calling it a night. There are currently 59 players remaining.
Below is how a few of the players are travelling after the break and therefore after the rebuy period. An interesting little anecdote, Isaac Haxton recently asked John Juanda if he had rebuyed, noticing Juanda only had a little over 1 million in chips. Juanda's response: "Real men don't rebuy."

PokerStars Team Online Isaac Haxton has gone a bit of a roll lately, seeing his stack near 3 million in chips. A recent hand saw Haxton rumble with somewhat reigning champion Stanley Choi, who won GuangDong's last super high roller event they held in 2012.
The hand in question began with Haxton opening to 55,000 from middle position. Choi was in the cutoff and made the call. When the dealer flipped over a flop, Haxton checked and Choi bet 90,000. Haxton made the call and the dealer flipped over a turn. This time when Haxton checked Choi bet 125,000. Haxton made the call and a completed the board.
Both players decided to check the river and when Haxton quickly flipped over , Choi's cards went into the muck and Haxton scooped up the handy little pot.

Sorel Mizzi has just lost a large portion of his stack. We didn't quite catch all the action, but we did arrive at the table to find a board out on the felt and with Fenglei Qian having moved all in for over 1 million in chips. That bet was a pot-sized shove and forced Mizzi deep into the tank. Eventually Mizzi opted to let his cards go as he counted up his remaining chips.

Poker legend Erik Seidel has just been spotted making his way out of the tournament area here at PokerStars LIVE at the City of the Dreams. Where did his chips go you ask? Well, they went straight into the stack of Hong Kong's Rono Lo. Apparently all the chips went in preflop, with Seidel holding against the of Lo. Following Seidel's elimination, Lo was left stacking up 5 million in chips, which is enough to make him the chip leader.

Anson Tsang has skyrocketed up the chip leader board after dealing the fatal blow to both Yue Tang and Hai San Lin. All the chips went in the middle preflop, with Tsang of course having his opponents covered. Below is how the hole cards looked.

Tang was looking good to triple with his pocket aces, but poker isn't always that simple and so when a board was spread on the fely, Tsang had hit his straight and dealt a double elimination, seeing his stack move toward 4 million in chips.
