The Korea Poker Cup Main Event Final 8 Starts At 12:30 Local

The Korea Poker Cup Main Event Final 8

The inaugural Korea Poker Cup series taking place at Landing Casino inside the luxurious Jeju Shinhwa World Resort continues with the Final 8 of the Main Event after a total of 1228 entries during the opening flights went down to 149 that started Day 2 yesterday where that number shrunk to 8 at the end of level 28.

The total prize pool - sitting at KRW 1,304,160,000 (~$914,360) - ballooned to almost double the GTD with the majority still left to be divided among the Final 8. Everyone taking a seat today will have KRW 21,400,000 (~$15,060) secured and a chance to hoist the trophy, taking home the top prize of KRW 216,500,000 (~$152,345).

Chen Yu Sung finished in the lead yesterday after starting Day 2 with 41 BB and first appearing on the leaderboard in 2nd during level 23. From then on he used his monster stack to bully and knocked out several players along the way which left him with 9,915,000 (99 BB).

2nd in chips Chun Lung Wong started Day 2 as chip leader after dominating Flight D and went on a tear late in the game trading the lead with Chen Yu Sung several times, busting Xiangyu Zhao in 14th and Taiwanese Pro Chi Jen Chu in 10th during the last level. He will start the final day almost equal to the lead with 9,700,000 (97 BB)

Weiwi Tang came in 3rd with 7,220,000 (72 BB), ending Day 2 by eliminating Shuangchun Mou in 9th - adding almost 30 big blinds on the buzzer.

Sin Lan Chen - the last woman standing - is the only one with an average stack of 39 BB, who will be feeling the ICM pressure the most with four players having 18 BB or less among the Final 8.

Cards will be in the air at 12:30 and SMP is onsite to provide fresh updates throughout the day.
