Day 1B
Day 1B Concludes With Kwok Wai Wong Topping The Leaderboard

The second of four entry flights for the Red Dragon Championship ended with 62 out of 278 total entries bagging their chips for Day 2 at the end of level 14.
Similar to yesterday's flight, we had a very eventful last two levels that saw the two top stacks emerge out of nowhere with some wild closing stage action.
Overall chip leader Kwok Wai Wong sat on a 137,500 stack just two levels before the end but accumulated the biggest stack so far with 674,000 (135 BB) aided by getting max value for a nut flush during hand for hand play.
Second in chips Kozo Yamada - he finished 3rd in last year's Red Dragon Championship for $135,307 here in Jeju - also had a late charge that took him from 277,000 to 614,000 (123 BB) in the last few minutes by playing extremely aggressive and winning a lot of hands uncontested.
Other notable qualifiers from this star studded flight include bracelet winners Weiran Pu - 440,000, Joseph Cheong - 375,000, Lei Yu - 339,000 and Yang Zhang - 230,000. Those four and the rest of today's 62 qualifiers will have to wait until 12:00 on Wednesday the 7th of May before they can make use of their chips again.
The next chance to qualify is Day 1C tomorrow at 12:00 with the same structure as today.
