Main Event (1,300,000 KRW)

It's a sweat until the end on 3♠ T♠ 2♠ 6♣ 6♠ giving Zhang a flush in the end that sends Hao to the rail.

Hand #14: Xiaqing Ji picks up the blinds with a 425,000 raise from the button.

Hand #15: Under the gun Jiajin Hao min opens before folding to a 1,100,000 three-bet from hijack Cheng Huang.

Hand #16: Chen Yu Sung limps the small blind and folds after Hao raised to 3,200,000.

Hand #17: Sung leads 400,000 from the button, small blind Hao flats and big blind Zhiqiang Zhang pumps it to 1,700,000. Sung counters with a 6,100,000 jam that scares both opponents away.

Hand #10: Cheng Huang min-opens before folding to Chen Yu Sung's 970,000 three-bet.

Hand #11: Sung picks up blinds after making it 400,000 from the cutoff.

Hand #12: Huang limps the small blind, but lets it go after Xiaqing Ji forked out 750,000.

Hand #13: Jiajin Hao collects the blinds with a min-raise out of the hijack.

Hand #5: Cheng Huang limps the small blind and Xiaqing Ji checks for a free 8♠ A♦ K♦ flop that gets rejeted and the 2♦ turn is revealed. Ji's 250,000 feeler gets called and the 6♥ river is checked down again with Ji's Q♣ 8♦ good enough against Q♠ T♥ from Huang.

Hand #6: This time it is Ji open limping his small blind and Chung Tang Lin opts for a check to see the J♦ 4♣ 2♠ flop where Ji tries to steal for 250,000, but Lin calls and the K♦ turn and K♣ river are checked down with Lin's T♦ 4♦ beating Ji's 7♥ 6♣ air.

Hand #7: Ji makes it 400,000 from the button, but lets it go after Yifan Cao jammed 3,600,000.

Hand #8: Huang collects the blinds with a min raise from the hijack.

Hand #9: Cutoff Lin lays out 400,000, but folds after Jiajin Hao increased to 1,100,000.

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.

Like yesterday on the feature table, Oguri runs into kings with his jacks, this time the 9♥ 8♠ A♠ 8♦ 4♣ claims all of his chips, going into Hao's stack and sending the most aggressive player of today to the rail with final table preparations being made. The official Final 8 will still have to wait for one more bust.

The 4♠ in the window is bad news for Huang, who can't find improvement on J♥ Q♥ 3♠ T♦ and hands another chunk of his stack to one of the shorties.

Cutoff Shanghao Xie puts 250,000 in front and takes both blinds to the 5♣ 9♥ 2♣ flop that gets rejected for a free 9♦ turn. Small blind Kosei Oguri leads 300,000 and only initial raiser Xie tags along for the T♣ river that gets checked down again with Oguri's 4♦ 4♣ being enough to scoop the pot.

This takes the Japanese back to over 5M after an early setback against chip leader Xiaqing Ji.

After an early slumber, Xiaqing Ji woke up and started running over the table becoming the first to break into the 8-digits.
