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.

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.

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.

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♠ .

Former chip leader Peng Yang - runner up at the USOP Grand Finale Single Day High Roller for almost $50,000 in December - opens his button for 2,000 and big blind Xueqi Feng defends to see the flop A♣ 3♣ 9♣ . Yang double barrels 3,000 and 8,000 with Feng check-calling to the turn 7♦ and river T♣ that gets checked down, revealing Feng as the winner with A♦ 4♣ .

Zhihua Yang opens 700, taking two players to the flop 8♦ 9♠ A♦ with a quick 1,000 c-bet taking him heads-up tio the flop Q♦ with big blind Xueqi Feng. Feng switches gears to a 2,000 lead, but is back to calling after Yang separated 6,500 from his stack. The river 9♦ and Yang's all-in is enough to make Feng surrender.
