Main Event (1,300,000 KRW)

Bad news for Cao right away on the A♦ 6♣ 7♥ 8♦ 4♥ board, sending the table animator home, but not before signing some autographs I'm sure.

Hand #3: Just before the blinds went up, Jiajin Hao raised to 400,000 in the small blind and Zhiqiang Zhang pumped it to 1,500,000, prompting Hao to fold.

Hand #4: Hijack Yifan Cao attacks for 450,000, and big blind Cheng Huang defends to see the flop Q♠ 3♥ 4♣ where Cao's 500,000 c-bet gets met and the A♣ turn is revealed. Both players check to the J♣ river where Huang switches to a 1,500,000 lead with Q♣ 6♣ flush and Cao puts in the call before mucking.

Cao immediately gets up, firing up the room on every street when the dealer flips over J♠ 2♣ 6♥ 8♦ Q♦ where he does his soccer celebration with the crowd joining in to his chants.

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.

With the board running 8♥ 5♦ 6♦ 5♥ Cao gets out of his chair with his eyes fixated on the board and the 4♥ river makes him start celebrating like he won the tournament, running and jumping around. Can't we all relate to that?
