Baby Dragon Day 1C Is A Wrap With Junjie He On Top

Level 17: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000
He Junjie

Day 1C of the ₩1,500,000 (~US$ 1,035) buy-in opening event concludes with 11 out of the 69 total entries bagging chips for Day 2 tomorrow at 12:00 local.


Junjie He - runner-up at the APT Jeju Mystery Bounty for $28,498 last year - bagged the lead with 433,000. His run was aided by a last minute elimination of Yifan Cao with king-jack against ace-jack that took the field into bubble play and granted him 13BBs.


Wen Wen Chen - runner-up in the Baby Dragon last July for $63,581 - came in as a close second with 406,000 in chips with a last minute juicer from the elimination of Qingyang Que for an additional 12BBs.


All 50 Day 2 qualifiers will unpack their chips tomorrow at 12:00 local with SMP covering all the action.
