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

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.

Wei Hsiang Wang Can't Catch A Break
Picking up the action on the flop 8♦ T♣ A♠ and 118,000 in the middle big blind Qing Zhao leads 25,000, Wang puts him all-in and Zhao gives it quite some thought before finding the call for 93,000 total.

Former Chip Leader Wei Hsiang Wang's Downward Trend Continues

Under the gun Wei Hsiang Wang raises to 10,000, the button flats and small blind Qingbo Gao squeezes to 42,000 before Wang four-bets 110,000. The button gets out of the way and Gao is in the tank before emerging with a request for the all-in triangle wagering all of his 254,000. Wang snaps for one of the biggest pots of the day.
