Cheng Huang Bags The Lead At Main Event Day 1A

Level 16: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000
Cheng Huang - Main Event Day 1A Chip Leader

The discounted early bird special Flight A attracted 259 entries with 33 advancing to Day 2 at the end of level 16.


Cheng Huang came out on top with 750,000 (125 BB), taking the lead early in level 9 and constantly chipped up throughout the day, aided by a last minute elimination of Fen Mai on the money bubble with Q 8 against Mai's A A when the two showed down on the J 5 Q flop and the dealer flipped over two pair for Huang with 8 and T .

Tianyi Jiang

Close second in chips with 733,000 (122 BB) Tianyi Jiang was a regular on the leaderboard since level 9 as well, lunging a late charge in level 15 with the eliminations of Chung Tang Lin with sevens against big slick and all low cards on the board and felling Yaoquan Lin with rockets against ace-six.


Yongbin Wang who attended the KPC in April closed the day in a distant third with 450,000 (75 BB).


All of today's qualifiers have to wait until Sunday the 22nd of June until they can make use of their chips again in Day 2.


Five more opening flights are still available until then, starting tomorrow at 12:00 noon with Day 1B for KRW 1,300,000 and the same structure as today.


SMP Live Updates will be there to cover all the action.

Catching the action on the flop 7 8 4 with 4,100 up for grabs, button Guguo Liu slides out 1,100 and cutoff Gang Wang pays up to see the 2 turn. Wang switches to a 2,500 lead, called by Liu, the river J hits the felt and Wang mounts a steal for 7,000, but immediately throws it in the muck when Liu says call.

The Korea Poker Cup Main Event Flight A Starts At 12:30 Local

The second running of the stand alone Korea Poker Cup series taking place at the Landing Casino inside the luxurious Jeju Shinhwa World Resort will be headlined by the Main Event featuring an increased KRW 880,000,000 (~USD 637,780) guaranteed prize pool that will certainly be broken again, considering the Mystery Bounty entries yesterday that crushed last KPCs field by quite some margin.


Day 1A is the first of six opening flights, and as advertised, players that enter today will enjoy a discounted Early Bird rate of KRW 1,240,000 (~USD 899) while the rest of the flights cost KRW 1,300,000 (~USD 942).


Once at the tables, players start with a stack of 30,000 which is a deep 150 times the opening blinds. The blinds increase at 40 minute intervals, and late registration stays open until the end of Level 9 at around 20:00.


April's Main Event champion Chun Lung Wong who took home KRW 200,740,000 (~$140,740) after agreeing to an ICM deal with runner-up Weiwi Tang are both here again to defend their titles.


Cards start flying at 12:30pm and SMP will be on site to provide fresh updates throughout the day.
