Jingxuan Zhu Bags Day 1E Lead, Set The Bar For Next Flights

Level 16: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Jingxuan Zhu - Main Event Day 1 E Chipleader

Despite a slow start, Day 1E ended up with a total of 234 entries and 36 players advancing to day 2, more than doubling the 35 qualifiers from the first 4 flights combined.

After a long bubble with every short stack doubling up for a while we finally reached the 36 qualifiers at level 16 with an average stack of 195,000 and the top two in chips being overall leaders in the cumulative Day 2 list.

Jingxuan Zhu came out on top bagging a whopping 586,000 chips after a late charge including the elimination of William Li with A♦ K♠ against Li's 5♦ 5♣ .

Second in chips Ya Na accumulated 511,000 with a stellar run starting at level 10 with less that 50 bigs where she came out of nowhere with a flurry of great hands in level 12 with 200 big blinds, eliminating Guo Xin with A♠ A♦ against K♣ K♥ in a blind battle at the end.

Third in chips Li Bing made his 374,000 on the bubble, a few outs away from busting when he had K♠ Q♣ against Ju Yuhang's Q♦ J♦ who three-bet-jammed 30 big blinds on K♦ 5♦ 6♠ which Li Bing snapped and evaded the diamonds for a massive double up and left Ju Yuhang with so few chips that he bubbled a few hands later.

Four starting flights remain with Day 1H starting at 13:00 which has the same structure as Day 1E.
