Action folded to Liao Chao Kun on the small blind who raised all-in, called by Anstice Wu behind for his lesser 44,500. At risk, Wu was left in pieces as his opponent spiked the river 4♣ 8♥ 2♣ J♥ T♥ to end his run as the stone cold money bubble.

Action on High Roller Day 1 has wrapped up with local runner Chao Ting Cheng leading the charge, having just delivered the bubble to close the day's games.
