Cheng Enters, Yu Departs, Badziakouski Takes Early Lead
The field briefly grew to 16 with the arrival of Hong Kong’s Tony Cheng, but we have also had the Main Event’s first official casualty with Liang Yu hitting the rail.
The man to show Yu the door, at least for his first bullet, was Mikita Badziakouski with the two playing quite a few pots together every time we walked past their table.
It all came to a head on a 
flop where we picked up the action with over 17,000 in blinds and antes already in the pot. We are not sure what the pre-flop betting was but Yu had just checked the action over to Badziakouski, who led out for 7,000.
Yu check-raised to 17,000, leaving himself 51,600 behind, and Badziakouski thought things over before casually tossing in the call and the dealer peeled off the 
turn.
Yu quickly moved all-in and Badziakouski called instantly, tabling 
. Yu shook his head, laughed and folded immediately, and got up and walked away from the table before the hand was finished.
That shot Badziakouski into an early lead and brought the field back down to 15.
