Chao Hu Wins Red Dragon Poker Tour Baby Dragon For KRW 78,892,500 (~$54,922)

Level 30: 75,000 / 125,000 ante: 125,000

Chao Hu

After battling through 30 levels and outlasting a field of 330 players that pushed the total prize pool to KRW 432,135,000 (~$310,123), China's Chao Hu hoisted the Baby Dragon trophy and donned his first Red Dragon Champions Jacket.

I feel very happy. I think winning a tournament championship isn’t just about the prize; more importantly, it’s about the sense of achievement you get from defeating many opponents. You also discover that you’re constantly surpassing yourself, challenging your weaknesses, and becoming a better version of yourself.

Hu started the day 12th out of 50 being the chip leader at table 7. His stack got a first push in level 20, after doubling up with ace-king against nines before catapulting into the lead during level 22 when he made sevens-full against his soon-to-be heads-up opponent Hongjun Zhao's top-pair top-kicker. On his way to the final table he knocked out Ruoyu Yang in 15th and Xueqi Feng in 14th which made him start the Final 9 second in chips, just one BB behind then chip leader Hongjun Zhao.

At the final table, I found it hard to figure out the playing style of the opponent to my right. He often made unexpected moves, like always opening with 3 big blinds (3bb), and even when he was short-stacked, he remained very aggressive against my big blind. Later, with the help of some friends, I reviewed the hands to think about how to counter him. When my chip stack grew, I started to suppress and exploit him.

During the Final 9 he used his big stack well, further knocking out Yiming Kuang just after sitting down at the final table and on hand #38 Wenwen Chen in 7th when a preflop all-in with ace-king saw him outdraw Chen's pocket tens.

Actually, I remember many hands from the final table quite vividly—I can recall most of them. Two hands stand out in particular. One was when I had Ace-King (AK) and eliminated Chen Wenwen, who is a good friend and a strong competitor. I felt a bit embarrassed eliminating him, but that’s poker. The other hand was against the tricky player to my right (Yongbin Wang). When I had a deep stack, I 3-bet him with 3-5 of spades, luckily hit a 3 on the board, and overtook his Ace-Queen (AQ). This crippled his stack and eventually led to his elimination, so that hand was quite crucial.

His run continued with the elimination of Rong Zhang in 5th and Yongbin Wang in 4th where a bit of luck went his way, cracking Wang's eights with his ducks and later outdrawing Xiao Liu's king-queen with queen-four, that got him to the heads up as a roughly 4 to 5 underdog where he agreed with Hongjun Zhao to an even chop.

During the heads-up, I had fewer chips than my opponent, so splitting the prize pool was something I was happy to do.

Only five hands later he emerged as the champion after hitting mid-set against Zhao's flush draw that didn't materialize.

Congrats to all the players who gave it their best today and the SMP live updates will be back with you tomorrow at noon for Day 1A of the Red Dragon Championship.

Day 2 Of The Red Dragon Poker Tour Baby Dragon Begins At 12:00 Noon Local

With 330 entries across all three opening flights the prize pool reached a total of KRW 432,135,000 (~$310,123), resulting in a KRW 95,645,000 (~$66,585) first prize that all of the remaining 50 players will be gunning for. All of them have at least the KRW 3,150,000 (~$$2,195) min cash secure.

The Final Day will start with the blinds scaled back to level 17 (3,000/6000/6000), intervals increased to 40 minutes and conclude when the winner is crowned.

Day 1B front-runner and overall chip leader Xueqi Feng - who will start the day with 607,000 (101 BB) - has his work cut out for him, having third in chips Lei Li to his immediate left with 510,000 (85 BB) on table 1. Day 1A winner and 2nd overall with 587,000 (98 BB) Hui Tang is arguably in the best position to run over his table 3 to accumulate more chips and become one of the prime contenders to get to the final table with a big stack.

Notable mentions are defending champion Shengyong Wang with 88,000 (14 BB) and last times runner-up Wen Wen Chen with a comfortable 430,000 (71 BB) being the biggest stack on table 5.

The SMP team will be back on site and behind the screens again tomorrow to give you updates from start to finish.
