Main Event (1,300,000 KRW)

The Q♥ is none of Huang's outs, ending the tournament in 2nd, but with the bigger cash after making an ICM deal as massive chip leader.

Hand #74: After a break on stream we are jumping back in with Chung Tang Lin having even more chips, but Cheng Huang fights back right away. A limped flop is checked to the 9♦ A♥ 4♥ 3♠ 8♥ river where Huang leads 1,800,000 and Lin lets it go.

Hand #75: Huang raises 1,100,000 and scoops.

Hand #76: Lin opens 1,000,000 and Huang defends to see the 6♥ 7♦ K♠ flop where a 1,000,000 c-bet gets called before Huang folds to a 2,500,000 second barrel on the A♥ turn.

Hand #69: An 850,000 raise from Cheng Huang gets called to the 7♦ 5♥ Q♦ flop where an 800,000 continuation gets met again before the T♣ turn is rejected and a free J♣ river hits the felt. Huang lays out 2,200,000 with 9♠ 5♠ and Chung Tang Lin has an easy call with J♦ 5♣ two pair.

Hand #70: On the 8♥ A♣ 3♣ limped flop Huang's 900,000 get called before Lin folds to a 3,500,000 second barrel.

Hand #72: Another limped hand goes to the 4♦ 6♦ 9♠ 6♣ turn before a 500,000 bet from Huang takes it down.

Hand #73: Huang limp-calls 1,100,000, but surrenders against a 1,000,000 c-bet on the 8♦ J♥ 4♥ flop.

Hand #65: After limping once more, Cheng Huang fires 300,000 on 5♣ 2♠ Q♣ and 900,000 on the 9♦ turn that get both check-called by Lin before the 6♦ river is checked down for Huang to scoop with 8♥ 8♦ against Lin's A♦ 3♣ .

Hand #66: Lin raises to 825,000, Huang defends and the 9♥ T♦ 7♦ flop gets checked to the Q♥ turn where Lin's 1,500,000 gets check-raised to 4,200,000 and Huang scoops.

Hand #67: Limped again, the 5♥ 8♥ A♣ flop has Huang bet 400,000 to collect the chips.

Hand #68: Another limped Q♥ 3♥ 4♥ flop makes Lin triple barrel 300,000, 800,000 and 2,000,000 to the turn J♦ and A♥ river with Huang calling all the way holding Q♠ 5♦ against Lin's J♥ 6♣ flush.

Hand #61: Another limped flop comes 3♥ K♦ 4♠ with Cheng Huang's 350,000 being called, the J♦ turn gets checked and Huang tries to steal for 800,000 with 7♣ 6♦ but gets called by Lin with Q♠ 4♥ .

Hand #63: Lim raises 900,000 into Huang's limp who calls to see the 5♠ A♠ 2♠ flop where another 1,000,000 from Lin is called before his 2,200,000 on the Q♦ turn goes unanswered.

Hand #64: Lin makes it 750,000 and Huang defends before surrendering to an 800,000 c-bet on the 3♦ K♥ J♦ flop.

Cheng Huang extended his lead by quite some margin, Chen Yu Sung makes back-to-back Final 8 being 3rd in chips and shortest stack Shanghao Xie with 10 BB can rest assured he will go home with at least KRW 23,000,000 (~$16,745).

The stage is being prepped for the walk in celebration, so tune into the stream and check it out if you want!

Chip leader Cheng Huang is in a great position, but just behind him is Xiaqing Ji with almost the same amount of chips and in position of all the big stacks at the table. This is going to be an interesting final table.

With one more elimination to be delivered before the official Final 8, it is shortest stack Qingtao Kong - Poker Dream 12 Main Event Champion - who has his work cut out for him.

And KPC 1 third place finisher Chen Yu Sung is still cruising with just a bit more than what he started the day with.
