Taiqi Wang Bags The Lead At Day 2

Day 2 saw a thunderous return of 1,433 players - a figure that many brands in the region would be thrilled to hit even for their Main Events with re-entries. Just before the eighth hour of play, three players fell during hand-for-hand bubble round: Jin Zhou flopped the nuts straight to knock out Qui Kai and Xinyuan Yang, and at a separate table, Jin Wang eliminated Zhaohai Liang with big slick ahead throughout the low board.

The remaining 486 players continued with many short stack quickly shoving and falling. At the end of Level 20, only 240 players were left led by Taiqi Wang who sat on a stack of 1,680,000 (112 bb). At his heels was Zhenxu Wang with 1,660,000 - just two big blinds behind, and in third rank was Yuyu Huang with 1,600,000 - just four blinds behind the leader.
