Day 1A Reaches The End With Qing Zhao Bagging The Lead

Level 14: 3,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000
Qing Zhao

The first of four entry flights for the Red Dragon Championship ended with 49 out of 209 total entries bagging their chips for Day 2 at the end of level 14.


The leaderboard had a complete overhaul in the last level mostly due to the action table 17 with Qing Zhao, Luyao Wu, Qingbo Gao and Wei Hsiang Wang - who all occupied the top spot at some point during the closing stage - trading blows with multiple pots exceeding 500,000.


Qing Zhao ran it up the most with two double ups against Wei Hsiang Wang and Luyao Wu on the buzzer that got him from 133,000 to 632,000 within a few minutes, topping the leaderboard in the end. Qingbo Gao also dipped into Wang's stack for a double up last minute finishing the day in 2nd with 528,000.


Today's 49 qualifiers will have to wait until 12:00 on Wednesday the 7th of May before they can start caressing their chips again.


The next chance to qualify is Day 1B tomorrow at 12:00 with the same structure as today.

The small blind leads 9,000, Yizheng Li ups it to 29,000 from the big blind and only lojack Hongjun Zhao pays up to see the river 9 where he calls Li's last 5,000 all-in with two-pair J T against Li's straight K 9 .

Luyao Wu Joins 6-Digit Club

Level 2: 200 / 300 ante: 300

Yizheng Li leads 700 from +1, finds a caller and small blind Luyao Wu lays out a massive 6,700. Yi Liu cold calls from the big blind and the rest gets out of the way. Wu check-calls 11,500 on the flop 5 8 Q before all the marbles go in on the turn J with Liu jamming 26,000 and Wu snaps.
