The Korea Poker Cup Main Event Flight A Is A Wrap With Yao Du In The Lead

Level 17: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Yao Du

The first of five flights for the KPC Main Event with a KRW 800,000,000 (~$544,077) guaranteed prize pool attracted 213 players and saw 27 bag their chips for Day 2 during level 17, almost 14 hours after the first hand was dealt.

Yao Du emerged on top with 455,000 and has been among the leaders since level 9, gaining a significant boost in level 14 when he knocked out Taiwanese pro Meng Ling Lin with A♦ A♣ against her K♥ K♣ and burst the bubble in level 16 by eliminating Xiaolu Yang with Q♦ Q♠ versus J♥ J♣ .

Lili Tang also first appeared on the ladder during level 9, won a blind battle against Chen Yu with A♦ K♥ and kept chipping up, moving from 5th on the board during level 15 to second at the end, bagging 403,000. Yao Fang worked his magic away from our eyes, also being on the lower end of the Top 20 since the end of late registration and a late boost catapulting him into third with 373,000 to his name.

The remaining 27 players will have time to score some other trophies in the coming days until they can use their chips again on Saturday the 12th of April at 12:00 when Day 2 begins.
