Baby Dragon (1,500,000 KRW)

Day 1B of the ₩1,500,000 (~US$ 1,035) buy-in opening event concludes with 21 out of the 144 total entries bagging chips for Day 2 tomorrow at 12:00 local.

Xueqi Feng eclipsed yesterday's chip leader by a few thousand, taking 607,000 to Day 2. The Chinese national catapulted into the lead on level 12, calling a triple barrel bluff with top pair and stayed in the top two for the rest of the day, trading the lead several times with the second place finisher Lei Li. His mega stack got two last minute additions from eliminating Wan Tianhao for 13BBs and bursting the 2nd bubble Wenjie Sun for another 17BBs on the buzzer.

Yesterday's bubble boy Lei Li bagged the 2nd biggest stack with 510,000. He was among the top stacks early on again and traded the lead with Feng towards the end a few times. He knocked out Jinhan Yang and Zhu Wu in the same hand with jacks against sevens and ace-queen and got a last minute push by eliminating two-time bracelet holder Xixiang Luo in level 16 with nines against deuces for a 27BB juicer.

Day 1C Turbo is still underway, looking to finalize tomorrows Day 2 line-up with live updates switching over there now.

No miracle for Gao on 5♥ Q♣ K♠ 5♦ 8♣ bursting the bubble before the attention turned to one of the other tables.

No help for Tsoy on 3♥ and K♠ , eliminating the last remaining player of the Uzbek crew which takes us to the bubble.

No seven for Qin on the river K♥ and the dealer pushes the chips into Wei's direction.

Under the gun opens 10,000, small blind Yi Qin ups it to 37,000 and Xueqi Feng cold four-bets to 135,000. The initial raiser gets out of the way, putting Qin in the tank before he also decides to let it go, handing Feng a 2nd pot in a row to take back the lead.

The remaining three players are fighting for the top prize of KRW 9,607,000 with Shujie Zhan min cashing KRW 2,410,000 in 5th and Jikai Tian taking home KRW 2,880,000 for 4th.

Current chip stacks for the top 3 are as follows:

When the action folds to small blind Daqiao Jiang a limp is announced and Jiaming Zhao opts to raise 16,000 with T♣ 5♥ . Jiang fills up to see the flop 9♠ K♠ 4♥ that gets checked to the turn 2♥ where Zhao senses weakness, lays out 24,000 that gets check-called and the board completes 7♦ . Checked to him again, Zhao puts his big boy pants on moving all-in for 55,000 with ten-high, but Jiang has his number and calls with ace-high A♣ J♣ to knock him out.

Under the gun Ruoyu Yang leads 8,000 and fills up after big blind Shizi Xiao - fresh from his biggest live cash of $26,136 for shipping the DPT Two-Day High Roller a few weeks ago - upped it to 27,000. Xiao collects the pot after laying out a 24,000 c-bet that went unanswered.

XueQi Feng opens 7,000 from +1 and fills up after button Kai Lui pumped it to 20,000. The flop 9♠ 7♥ 5♥ gets rejected for the turn J♥ where Feng's 16,000 lead takes it down.

Yongbin Wang wants 6,000 from +1 and finds two customers sharing the flop 8♦ J♣ 5♥ with. His 3,000 c-bet takes us heads-up with Wenjie Sun on the button for the turn K♣ that gets checked to the river 9♦ . Wang slides out a tiny 3,000, inducing Sun to bluff 30,000 with A♠ T♠ , but Wang's straight 7♣ T♣ is way too strong to fold, scooping another nice pot on the river.

Having reached 144 entries for flight B we are playing down to the 22 player money bubble today with 66 hopefuls still in contention.

Luyao Wu raises 4,000 from under the gun and finds two players to share the flop K♣ T♦ 8♣ with. Wu's 4,500 c-bet keeps only button Xueqi Feng in the running for the turn A♠ . Another 16,000 from Wu gets paid and the board completes 2♦ . In a last ditch effort to wrestle down the pot, Wu lays out another 35,000 with queen high Q♦ 9♦ , good enough to send Feng in the tank, but too little to make him fold top pair A♣ 4♠ .

Under the gun leads 4,500, Chao Wei wants 11,500 from +2 and button Yuhang Chen cold four-bets 21,000. Wei sticks around for the flop 6♦ 3♦ 4♣ and scoops after forking out 35,000.

Help immediately arrives for Yang in the form of 3♦ Q♥ J♦ K♠ 4♠ , cracking aces and entering the 6-digit club.

The KRW 1,000,000 buy-in event attracted 29 players with 15 still in the running, waiting to get the payouts updated.

The last of the three flights for the Baby Dragon just started with 20 minute blinds and late registration open until the end of level 10.

Two hands later, Yi Qin raises 3,500 out of the hijack and is heads up with button Yifan Cao once more. The flop 8♥ T♥ T♠ has him continue for 3,500 and calls after Cao raises to 11,500. Checking on the turn 9♣ , Qin opts for a check-raise-shove of 47,500 with A♥ Q♠ after Cao made it 17,500 with 6♥ 5♦ before he lets it go.

Under the gun Linghui Dai kicks off the action with a 2,400 open and both blinds defend to see the flop 6♣ 7♦ 2♣ . Dai's 3,500 c-bet takes him heads up with big blind Lei Li who check raises the turn 5♦ to 16,500. Dai fills up his 5,500 bet and snap calls Li's jam on the river 8♦ for a total of 38,200. Li scoops it with a 6♦ 2♦ flush against Dai's 9♥ 9♣ straight.

The river 4♣ seals the deal for the former Baby Dragon champion, with just a few minutes left until late registration closes.

Yahui Xu opens 2,600 from the cutoff and takes two customers to the flop 4♣ 2♠ A♦ where his 4,500 c-bet receives two calls and bloats the pot. The turn J♠ gets checked to button Dong Li, 7,500 go over the line and Xu takes them heads up. Li jams on the river Q♠ and Xu lets it go, showing the A♣ .

The bottom set sgtays ahead on A♠ and T♣ , catapulting Qidong He up the leader board.

Shanhe Su stays aggressive and opens 2,400 from the button, the small blind calls and big blind Shengyong Wang increases to 10,000. Back to Su, 27,800 go in the middle and only Wang pays up to see the flop 4♠ 5♦ T♣ that gets checked around to the turn K♣ . Wang check-calls 13,500, the board completes 9♥ and Su fires another 28,500 with ace-high A♣ J♦ . Wang goes in the tank, but finds the call with J♣ J♠ , scooping a massive pot.

Under the gun Yong Li opens 2,500, finds a customer, but cutoff Qingyang Que pumps it to 9,000. Only Li sticks around for the flop 6♣ A♠ T♣ that gets checked to the turn 2♥ where a 9,000 bet from Li gets called and the board completes J♠ . Checking it down, Li emerges as the winner with A♣ 8♣ .
