Final Table Draw With The Top 4 Stacks All Next To Each Other

Level 29: 60,000 / 120,000 ante: 120,000

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.
