Day 1H Concludes With Liu Yayun Topping The 53 Qualifiers

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

Liu Yayun - Main Event Day 1H Chipleader

The biggest field yet with 53 out of 351 qualifying for tomorrow's Day 2 saw four players emerge with more than half a million in chips, lead by a very aggressive Liu Yayun bagging 663,000, closely followed by Su Jie with 635,000 who had a roller coaster ride, but was always among the big stacks and burst the bubble by knocking out Yu Lei with A♣ 8♥ against A♠ 6♥ .

Not among the big stacks, but worth mentioning are Kong Qingtao - the defending champion - qualifying for a second time with 47,000 and poker legend John Juanda who had a late double with 9♥ 9♣ against A♥ 2♥ and will start Day 2 with 87,000.

Day 2 will begin at 1pm local time on the 19th. See you all there!
