With deep stacks and long levels you might expect play to start slowly and build to a crescendo and play progresses, but that is not the case here on Day1A of the PokerStars Championship Macau Main Event.
Two players who are throwing the chips presently around are Liwei Sun and Mingwei Li. Sitting in the cutoff Li had a bet totalling 1,250 out on the felt and Sun (button) had re-raised to 3,325.
It looked like Li had packed his sunblock though and tossed in another raise, this one a rather hefty bet of 7,850 in total. That was enough to get Sun to give it up rather quickly and he pitched his cards into the muck, leaving Li to take down the pot.
Yet another high roller has entered the fray. After just busting the Super High Roller in 13th place for HK$676,000 Isaac Haxton has recently taken his seat in the main event.

on the felt and Ryan led out for 900, getting a call from Alvarado.
and Ryan checked. Alvarado bet 2,600 and his opponent thought for half a minute before tapping the table in acknowledgement of his opponent's hand and mucked his cards. Alvarado showed the 
flop, Wang checked and so did the big blind. Wong bet 400 and Wang check-raised to 1,200, which only Wong called.
turn, Wang then bet 2,500 and that won the pot uncontested.
flop, Cong continued for 2,600 and Geisel called before the Chinese then checked the 
turn. Geisel bet 6,000 and Cong was sent into the think tank, which prompted Daniel Dvoress next to him to call the clock.
on the river. Geisel moved all in and Cong snap-called to see the German roll over 
for the nut flush and the stacks were counted. Geisel had around 20,500, while Cong had that covered with 21,700 to eliminate his opponent.
rainbow board is a little connected it is not really the best flop for the majority of unpaired three and four bet raising hands. This did not deter Murthy though, who fired out a bet of 3,500 into the 15k-plus pot.
