It didn't take long to see action on this final table of The Vegas Open. With both Brian Chan and Scott Goodman playing the short stack, it was only a matter of time before the crowd saw the first casualty of the day.

It's a true Texas Hold'Em finish with the guts against the brain to the take the fourth semi-finalist position on The Vegas Open.

With a mountain of chips to start round three of The Vegas Open, young Korean poker veteran Spring Cheong was looking to steamroll the five remaining players.

Spring refused to accept that change and battled it to the finish, along the way providing quips of Asian philosophy to unnerve her competitors.
