The QQPK Pokerlympics is underway here at Poker Dream Jeju! 9 players are competing for a Poker Dream 13 Main Event ticket + 10 Nights Hotel.

The game is NLH, 20 minute blinds, 200,000 starting stack. Here are the contenders:

$15,000 NLH Final

Blinds 10,000/20,000 Ante 20,000

Date: September 27-28, 2024

Buy in: KRW 21,000,000 (~USD 15,000)

Entries: 52

Prize pool: KRW 1,016,652,000 (~ USD 771,000)

ITM: TBD after registration ends

Starting Stack: 500,000

Chips In Play: 26,000,000

Average Stack; 625,000

Remaining Players: 29

52 entries of KRW 21,000,000 (~USD 15,000) built a gargantuan prize pool of KRW 1,016,652,000 (~ USD 771,000). The top 29 players begin the $15 NLH today, but may be joined by some more players before registration closes.

Henrik Hecklen leads the field with a 2,805,000 chip count and is a big favorite to win the event. Hecklen has such as huge chip lead, and as long as he can maintain this and avoid big hits to his stack, then he certainly could have one foot in the door to the championship.

Hecklen has made significant cashes, but according to Hendon Mob, his last first place finish was still in 2022 at a NLHE Super High Roller event during the European Poker Tour London. Certainly, Hecklen is due for one soon, and today may be the day.

The second place in chips is John Juanda, who is more than a million chips behind at 1,610,000. Juanda is trailed closely by Daniel Tang with 1,590,000.

Of course, these two poker stars are not to be taken lightly. Poker legend John Juanda was a big winner last year in Poker Dream 7 Vietnam, winning a NLHE Super High Roller event.

Daniel Tang just recently made a huge second-place cash at the 2024 WSOP in the $50,000 PLO-High Roller. His last first place finish was earlier this year here at Jeju, winning the NLHE-All Star Showdown event of the Asian Poker Tour Jeju.

Meanwhile, here are the complete chip counts:
