Haoran Yang Tops The 19 Qualifiers In Flight A Of The Jeju Open Mystery Bounty

Level 14: 3,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Haoran Yang

With 147 total entries and 19 qualifiers for Day 2, Haoran Yang emerges on top after 14 levels of play and a late charge that includes the elimination of Jun Peng in 22nd and Chi Jen Chen - Poker Dream 16 Mystery Bounty Champ with almost $1M in live earnings, including a $140,000 cash in the WSOP Main Event last year - in 21st before losing some to Linghui Dai - 4th place finisher in the WPT Korea Main Event for $118,737 here in Jeju a year ago - that left him with 410,000 in chips.

Coming in second, Artem Sofronov bagged 380,000 after popping the bubble with 9♦ 9♣ against Wang Guyue's 8♦ 8♥ , adding 35 BBs last minute and Yuheng Wu in a close 3rd with 375,000 after a double knockout of Yu Han Su and Chun Lung Wong with J♥ J♦ against A♣ K♥ and K♠ J♠ just before entering level 14.

Well done everyone and we will see you at the live updates for Flight B in a few minutes.

Picking up the action on K♥ Q♣ 2♠ 4♥ and 52,000 up for grabs, chip leader Haoran Yang jams and Chi Jen Chen - Poker Dream 16 Mystery Bounty Champ with almost $1M in live earnings, including a $140,000 cash in the WSOP Main Event last year - calls for his remaining 25,000.

Jun Peng Gets Rivered And Is Out Two Places Before The Bubble

Level 14: 3,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Jun Peng shoves 75,000 from +1 with A♦ K♠ and dominates button Haoran Yang who calls with A♠ 9♥ and needs major help. Everything is looking peachy for Peng when the board falls Q♦ Q♣ 5♣ 7♣ before going pear shaped on the river 9♠ . That leaves Haoran Yang hot on the heels of the chip leader.
