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 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.

Lei Li kicks off the action with a raise to 1,200 from +1, Ning Zhu ups it to 3,600 which scares away everyone else but Li who calls to see the flop 6♠ 6♥ T♥ . A double barrel of 3,100 and 5,000 from Zhu gets called to the turn Q♥ and river 9♦ where two checks reveal Ning Zhu as the winner with J♠ T♦ against Li's 7♣ 7♥ .

Cutoff Yuxin Niu kicks off the action with a 600 open, button Caoling Shi ups it to 2,500, small blind Gezhun Kuang calls and Yuxin Niu is eager to call before big blind Lei Li finished his action, resulting in a one hand penalty for Niu before Lei announces a squeeze to 11,000. Only Shi fills up to lay eyes on the flop 9♠ 5♣ Q♦ where a single 9,000 c-bet gets the job done for Lei.
