Red Dragon Championship (2,500,000 KRW)

The headline event of the Red Dragon Poker Tour here at the Landing Casino in Jeju attracted a total of 997 entries across all four opening flights resulting in a total prize pool of KRW 2,175,953,000 (~$1,582,120) with KRW 360,000,000 (~$250,615) going to the champion. Today we started with 37 hopefuls and determined the Final 9 that will resume play tomorrow at 12:00 local.

Hijack Marcus Law gets the ball rolling with a raise to 300,000, Junjie He flats from the cutoff before Shengfa Huang picks up another pot with a 1,700,000 squeeze from the button.

Peng stays in front on 7♥ and 5♣ , putting a dent in the leader's stack and secures a much needed double up for himself.

Marcus Law opens yet another hand from the hijack for 250,000 and Shengfa Huang comes along for the ride to the flop 5♦ A♣ A♥ that gets checked to the turn 9♣ . Huang calls a delayed c-bet of 600,000 before both players are back to checking on the river 5♦ . Law tables another winner 8♣ 8♠ and Huang mucks.

The action folds to small blind Marcus Law who limps and Junjie He opts to check to the flop J♣ 7♥ 8♠ where Law starts a triple barrel sequence of 100,000, 300,000 and 1,150,000 to the turn 2♠ and river 4♣ where Junjie He let's it go, losing a time bank in the process.

Hijack Marcus Law opens 250,000 and takes cutoff Junjie He to the flop 6♠ K♥ 8♥ which gets checked to the turn 7♥ and river 7♣ . Law forks out 650,000 with A♦ K♠ and He uses a time bank before making the call, followed by a muck.

The turn Q♠ gives Shin some outs, but the river A♣ sends him off to the payout desk.

After Marcus Law eliminated Dong Li on the feature table in 17th place for KRW 14,350,000 (~$9,990) the clock is stopped for another table draw.
