Day 1C Is A Wrap With Fang Zhou Zhu Banking The Lead

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

Fang Zhou Zhu Day 1C Chip Leader

The third of four entry flights for the Red Dragon Championship ended with 78 out of 310 total entries bagging their chips for Day 2 at the end of level 14 and the KRW 2 Billion prize pool already eclipsed.

Fang Zhou Zhu finished the day on top, bagging 520,000 (104 BB) after flying under the radar the whole day until a few minutes before the end when he knocked out Haobo Zhu and picked up an additional 12 BB during the last hand of the day.

WSOP 2020 Online Bracelet Winner and 2nd in chips Huahuan Feng has been on the leaderboard since level 7 and had a pivotal hand during level 10 where he had 5♣ 5♥ and Jinbao Liu opened 2BB from +1, Feng called in +2 and lojack Pengfei Zhu went all-in for 19BB. Liu tried to isolate with a 20BB four-bet, but Feng remained sticky to see the flop T♠ Q♠ 5♦ , hitting bottom set. He got another 15BB out of Liu before he surrendered to Feng's all-in on the turn Q♥. Zhu was already drawing dead with A♦ 6♦ which let Feng scoop up a 116BB pot that catapulted him into the lead at the time. He ended the day with 445,000 (89 BB).

The rest of the 77 qualifiers consisted of players from four continents with international pros like Christian Harder from the United States - 148,000 (30 BB), William Jia from Australia - 138,000 (28 BB), Tom Verbruggen from the Netherlands - 93,000 (19 BB) and some of the best players from the Asian circuit. Poker legend John Juanda was on the leaderboard for a while as well, but unfortunately didnt make the cut.

All of them will continue their battle for the trophy an the champion's purse tomorrow at 12:00 local with the SMP team covering the action from start to finish.

Interview With Last Night's Short Deck Winner And Team Red Dragon Pro Xixiang Luo

Level 10: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

After winning yesterday's KRW 2,000,000 buy-in Short Deck tournament for KRW 21,840,000 (~$15,205) we had a chance to catch up with Xixiang Luo earlier today. Here is the full interview :

SMP : Congrats to another win! Is that your first short deck trophy?

Luo : This is my second Short Deck championship.

SMP : Was it smooth sailing or did you have some unforeseen challenges?

Luo : The tournament wasn't smooth sailing - I faced significant volatility early on with multiple all-ins and had to re-buy two or three times.

SMP : Let's talk about your incredible run at the WSOP last year, taking home the $2K H.O.R.S.E and the $1,500 Double Board bracelets, along with two close calls (3rd in Mixed Big Bet and 6th in another H.O.R.S.E) all within a month. How were you able to achieve that?

Luo : Pure luck, honestly! In 2024, also here in Jeju, I won a Main Event title. Back then, I made a wish to win a WSOP bracelet, and somehow ended up winning two. Wishing works - the edge of science is metaphysics!

SMP : Being such a versatile player, how did you come to learn all the different poker variants?

Luo : It’s about personality. I enjoy exploring new things and approach them with a ‘participate-first’ mindset. I’m naturally laid-back, but novelty excites me - when I encounter a new format, I dive in wholeheartedly.

SMP : Outside the USA, you’ve had incredible success in Jeju—3rd in the 2018 Red Dragon High Roller, APT Main Event Champion last year, and a Poker Dream 16 High Roller runner-up recently. What about Jeju brings out your A-game?

Luo : It boils down to solid poker fundamentals. I maintain my competitive edge through physical training and consistent tournament play. Recently, I’ve been studying Game Theory Optimal (GTO) strategies to address my weaknesses. as an old-school player, I used to rely on instinct, but modern poker demands technical mastery.

SMP : With over a decade in poker, what keeps you hungry?

Luo : Simple - passion. I genuinely love competitive poker. Early in my career, I focused on cash games, but tournaments became my priority as they evolved. The thrill never fades.

SMP : What advice would you give to young players aspiring to reach high-stakes games?

Luo : Follow your passion, but stay grounded. Play events suited to your bankroll and skill level. Treat poker as entertainment first - don’t overextend yourself. Master one format before chasing the next.
