Hongbin Du Bags The Biggest Stack At Jeju Open Mystery Bounty Flight B

Level 15: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Hongbin Du

The bubble burst just one minute after Level 15 began, leaving only 18 out of the 138 entries in Flight B. Hongbin Du emerged as the chip leader with 432,000 chips, following a late-game knockout spree that included Kenji Hata, Wenqing Dong, Ryan Tay, and Yu Ho Wong.

At one point, Du's stack peaked at 526,000 before he lost a showdown against Yihao Jiang late in Level 14. Despite that setback, Du was among the top stacks since coverage started at Level 9.

Second ranked Yan Yan joined the big stacks late in the game but quickly closed in on Du after Level 12. He capped off his run by bursting the bubble, eliminating Yehan Lin that took him to 397,000.

The survivors have an overnight's rest and will return to the Landing Casino on Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 12pm where they are guaranteed a piece of the prize pool.
