Main Event (1,300,000 KRW)

With 43 players left we are two places away from the money before playing further down to the last 34 that will advance to Day 2.

With an 8,000 raise and a call in front big blind Jianguo Shu squeezes to 22,000 and both opponents tag along to the 7♣ 2♥ 6♥ flop. Shu continues for 45,000, Rogerio Wong raises to 115,000 from +1 and button Huixiang Xia declares all-in for 266,500. Shu gets out of the way and Wong needs a time bank before coming to the same conclusion, showing T♦ T♠ before throwing it in the muck. Xia flips over 4♠ 5♥ and the whole table is in awe.

None of Bao's six outs show up on the 9♣ turn and 2♥ river, catapulting Wong into the 300K club.

The 8♥ is one of Chen's many outs and Pai can't turn it around on the 5♠ river, hitting the rail and propelling Chen back up the leaderboard.

More gasps are heard when the turn hits J♥ and the 2♣ river seals Lau's fate with Wong saying 'very very lucky'.

With 198 entries for today we already surpassed the KRW 880,000,000 (~$642,772) guarantee and 3 levels of late registration still open plus another two starting flights tomorrow The KPC 2 is poised to break yet another record.
