Main Event (1,300,000 KRW)

Cheng Huang leads 160,000 from the cutoff, but lets it go after Xiaosheng Zheng declared all-in for 1,585,000, making this the 3rd win in the last six hands for him.

This concludes Day 2 after the scheduled 12 levels of play.

Huang's heater continues when the board runs A♠ 9♦ A♦ Q♠ 3♦ to outdraw his opponent once more, this time sending Ledong Zhou to the rail. This leaves us with 16 players and a new table draw.

The A♣ in the window is a nightmare for Zheng, who was gearing up to get close to the overall chip leader but is now digging for a single out. The board completes 3♠ 3♦ 4♠ 6♦ and keeps Huang ahead for a massive boost into 2nd overall.

With a 125,000 open and a call in front, small blind Shanghao Xie jams for 1,380,000 and scares both opponents away.

The 9♥ 8♦ 7♦ flop is enough for Zheng to not really care about the A♥ and Q♠ that followed.

The 5♥ turn favors Wang, but the Q♦ river gives Huang a straight to take Wang's last chips.

Cutoff Chuan Wang leads 100,000 and big blind Cheng Huang defends to see the 9♠ K♥ 8♣ flop where Wang's 90,000 c-bet gets called and another 210,000 on the A♣ turn. When the K♦ river hits, both players elect to check and Huang reveals 2♦ 2♠ with some players at the table laughing, but its good enough to make Wang muck.

With Bin Zhao busting in 25th place there is going to be a redraw for the last three tables and everyone has at least KRW 8,050,000 (~$5,860) secure.

Hijack Cheng Huang lays out 50,000 and fills up after small blind Kosei Oguri reraised to 175,000 to see the K♠ A♠ Q♠ flop where Oguri continues for 50,000 and Huang sticks around for the Q♥ turn. Oguri slows down to a check-call of 175,000 and the 4♥ river gets checked with A♦ 2♦ from Oguri being good enough to scoop the pot.

Xiaosheng Zheng leads 50,000 and takes two customers to the Q♣ K♦ 2♦ flop where his 75,000 c-bet gets called by big blind Cheng Huang only. The 8♦ turn is checked to the 7♥ river where Huang leads 160,000 with 2♠ 8♠ and Zheng calls, showing the K♠ before throwing it in the muck.

A total of 17 outs for Huang don't show up on the 6♦ turn, but the 8♠ river is one of them, eliminating Zheng and putting Huang into the top 5.

The board already showing 9♣ 2♦ 9♠ 3♣ and 374,000 in the pot we see under the gun Cheng Huang lead 155,000 and button Xiaosheng Zheng calls with the aid of a time bank to reveal the 7♣ river where Huang makes it look like a blocker for 100,000 with K♥ 9♥ but Zheng has no intention of bloating the pot with K♠ K♣ and finds a call, losing another time bank in the process.

Xiaosheng Zheng kicks off the action with 31,000 from +1 and takes two interested parties to the 9♣ 3♦ 2♦ flop where his 22,000 c-bet keeps only big blind Bin Wang around. The 2♣ turn gets lead by Wang for 36,000, a call from Zheng reveals the Q♥ river and two checks later Zheng tables the winner 8♠ 8♦ against 7♠ 7♥ from Wang.

Cheng Huang opens 16,000 and fills up after button Zeyang Ding upped it to 56,000. Ding triple barrels 45,000, 100,000 and 121,000 all-in on 2♣ 3♦ 3♣ J♥ 3♥ with Huang calling all the way, showing 2♠ 2♦ against Ding's A♠ K♣
