Battle of the Chans

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

With the field now down to four, the short stack is currently Fat Cheong Wong, who has significantly less than the other three with around 10 big blinds to his name.

Sam Cheong is still table captain, and while we don��t see that changing anytime soon both Justin Chan and Wingkei Chan are just one double up away from the chip lead themselves.

The two are pretty close in chips and are currently taking it in turns to try and steal each other��s blinds and pressure Wong, though they seem to be battling it out against each other more than most.

While there have been no particularly huge hands recently, the small ones can all add up too and both Chan��s seem eager to get their hands on all the chips they can.

Wingkei Chan has limped his small blind into Justin Chan��s big blind for the last couple of orbits and both times Justin has responded with a raise, which Wingkei has called both times and the two have fought it out over the table.

It is Wingkei who has had the best of these exchanges so far, setting a trap with a flopped top pair with {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}on a {9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop and check calling Justin all the way to the river, though Justin did save himself some chips by checking the river back, mucking when Wingkei turned over his hand.

Wingkei won the next encounter as well, with Justin the aggressor from under-the-gun, making it 1,200 to go and Wingkei choosing to defend his blind. The action was checked to Justin on the {2-Spades}{10-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop, and he bet out 1,300, which Wingkei again called, doing so again on the {k-Spades} turn after Justin fired for 2,300.

The {k-Clubs} river paired the board and saw Wingkei lead for close to full pot (5,500) and Justin quickly let it go. Here��s how the four players are stacking up:
