The Korea Poker Cup Main Event Flight D Concludes With Chun Lung Wong As New Overall Chip Leader

The fourth of five flights for the KPC Main Event with the KRW 800,000,000 (~$544,077) guaranteed prize pool well eclipsed by the new total of KRW 1,393,660,000 (~$977,109) booked 390 entries and saw 49 advance to Day 2 tomorrow at 12:00 local.
Chun Lung Wong bagged a new overall lead with 795,000 mainly due to a massive double up against Tae Hoon Han with A♠ A♥ against J♥ J♦ that remained the biggest pot of the day - worth 233 BBs in level 13. He put a cherry on top right at the end by eliminating Cheng Zhou on the bubble for Day 2.
Yuheng Wu came in 2nd with 563,000 and 3rd place Haibo Yang has 544,000 to work with.
We will now switch to live updates for Flight E that is already close to the bubble.
