The Baby Dragon Day 1A Comes To A Close With Hui Tang In A Commanding Lead

Level 18: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000
Hui Tang

The first of three flights for the Red Dragon Poker Tour 2025 Baby Dragon attracted a total of 117 players with 18 left standing that all have a min cash secured when Day 2 begins at 12:00 on Saturday the 3rd of May.


Hui Tang - his biggest live cash to date comes from finishing 2nd at the APT Jeju 2024 Sunday Superstack for $25,103 here at the Landing Casino about a year ago - came out on top, bagging 587,000, almost 17% of all chips in play. He first took the lead in level 15 and ended the day by knocking out Lei Li on the bubble, jamming A 7 from the button and Li calling his 27BB stack with K K to get out flopped on A 2 5 2 8 .


Yiming Kuang finished the day in 2nd with 405,000. He came out of the gates storming with his name among the top spots on the leaderboard since level 5, even surpassing Hui Tang in the late stages before he got his last minute boost.


Zhongxian Li - another player banking his biggest cash here at the Landing Casino last year by finishing runner-up in the WPT Korea Dragon Quest for $35,629 - had a rocky start to his day, being down to 4BBs during level 11 before running it back up with several double ups and then knocking out Wenhao Ying with 7 7 against K K by hitting a seven on the turn. He will start Day 2 with 357,000 in chips.


Tomorrow will have the remaining two flights available at 12:00 local with the same structure as today and at 18:00 as a turbo with 20 minute levels.


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