Flight 1A Concludes With Jonty Obrien In A Commanding Lead

Level 12: 1,500 / 3,000 ante: 3,000

Jonty Obrien - Red Dragon Championship Day 1A Chip Leader

The first of five opening flights for the KR₩ 2 Billion (~$1,451,326) guaranteed RDPT Jeju II 2025 is on the books with 61 out of 235 contenders still standing at the end of level 12.

Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi for Jonty Obrien bagging the lead in Day 1A with 389,000 (130 BB). His day was kickstarted in level 8 when Wenqing Dong bluff-jammed K♥ J♣ on A♣ 8♥ 7♦ 6♦ into Obrien's 8♦ 8♠ , netting him 72BB and the overall lead at the time. He consistently chipped up after that without much risk, especially at the end when most players were already content with making it to Day 2.

I've bagged the chip lead a few times in some decent size events, but not in a main event. It feels great, but nothing to celebrate yet as 30% still remain in the field.

Pocket eights was a weird one, where he just thought he would run a sick bluff, but luckily I had the goods. It was most upwards from there, called a few all-ins, lost 1 but held for 2 others and got put into a couple of tough spots, but always found the calls and fortunately most were correct.

China's Yang Pan - chip leader for quite a while at the end of the late registration phase - also had a controlled end to the day making use of a stack towering over the opposition at his table. He secured 329,000 (110 BB) in the end.

Wei Hu (310,000), Yuefeng Pan (303,000) and Zuyou Wang (301,000) were the only other players with more than 100BB to their names.

The next two opportunities to advance to Day 2 are tomorrow at 12:00 and 18:00 and the SMP Live Updates will cover the action from start to finish.

Full interview with Jonty Obrien after Day 1A

Level 12: 1,500 / 3,000 ante: 3,000

SMP: Congrats on bagging the lead In Day 1A. How does it feel?

Obrien: I've bagged the chip lead a few times in some decent size events, but not in a main event. It feels great, but nothing to celebrate yet as 30% still remain in the field.

SMP: The pocket eights kickstarted your day, how has the journey been after that?

Obrien: Pocket eights was a weird one, where he just thought he would run a sick bluff, but luckily I had the goods. It was most upwards from there, called a few all-ins, lost 1 but held for 2 others and got put into a couple of tough spots, but always found the calls and fortunately most were correct.

SMP: Your biggest cash comes from the RDPT Mini Main last year. How did that change your view on poker? More than a hobby now?

Obrien: I played a lot of cash game previously over the last 10 years. Last year's mini main 3rd place was a good stepping stone into my tournament career.

SMP: How did you first hear about the RDPT and why did you choose to come?

Obrien: I study mandarin in China currently, so poker is just something I do on the side, although I have studied poker seriously for the past few years.

SMP: How does the Asian circuit compare to the games in Australia?

Obrien: I haven't really played many tournaments in Australia as I live on the west side, but the east is always buzzing.

SMP: What’s your relation to Taiwan? You have been playing there a lot recently.

Obrien: Taiwan has a great poker environment/venue, easy for Australians to travel and soft fields.

SMP: Can we expect to see more of you on the Asian poker circuit?

Obrien: I am playing TMT series after this in Taiwan, then will play WPT Thailand.

SMP: What do you like most about playing these big fields?

Obrien: The fields where there are 1000s of players I don't play too often, but once you get down to the final few tables, its a great feeling as it takes a miracle to get to that point.

SMP: Now that you already qualified for Day 2, any plans for the next two days? Eying any side events?

Obrien: Probably will play the 2pm bounty tomorrow, then take a day off on Thursday, but we will see how things go.

Thanks for taking the time to chat with us and good luck for Day 2 already!
