Soriano Ramos Bags A Gargantuan Stack

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

Soriano Ramos - Day 1E chip leader

Day 1E ended with Spain's Soriano Ramos bagging up towering stack of 905,000 (113 bb). That was 35 bb more than the closest survivor Teng Kah Yew who bagged 620,000 (78 bb). Ramos has now taken over the top spot in the Day 2 survivor list and is far ahead of the pack. He has now set the bar for the next flights.

Also making the cut in Day 1E was Che Jiaming for another Dream Bonus reward! Che bagged at Day 1A, Day 1B, and now Day 1E. He is guaranteed a minimum ₩18.8 Million. Che Jiabin was also successful today to earn his first Dream Bonus of ₩9.4 Million. Che first bagged up a very short stack at Day 1D. Today's stack was a very healthy 296,000 / 46 bb.

That's it for Day 1E. Six flights left to determine how high the pot will go and how many players will earn a piece of the record $2 Million prize pool.

Stay tuned for the recap.
