Red Dragon Championship (2,500,000 KRW)

Former runaway chip leader Haitao Huang lays out 250,000 from the cutoff and small blind Bohong Yu defends to see the 6♦ 2♠ A♣ flop where he check-calls 180,000 before the A♥ turn gets checked down to the 6♣ river. Huang forks out another 300,000 with A♠ 9♣ and Yu cant resist to have a look before throwing it in the muck.

Under the gun Bohong Yu lays out 160,000 and finds two customers to share the Q♥ 6♠ 7♥ flop with where the action gets checked to button Tao Li who tests the waters for 195,000. Small blind Haitao Huang pays up and both of them check down to the K♥ turn and 4♦ river with Li's 8♦ 8♠ beating 5♠ 7♠ from Huang.

After winning another pot by three-betting Wenhao Ying preflop, showing ace-queen off, Haitao Huang is at it again with an 80,000 open from the cutoff and big blind Bohong Yu bravely defends his big blind. Yu calls a 70,000 c-bet on the 9♥ A♠ 9♣ flop before both of them check down to the T♣ turn and 2♦ river where Huang's 3♠ 3♥ is still good enough against Yu's K♥ Q♥ to scoop his 5th consecutive pot.

Huang picks up some more outs on 3♣ 5♣ 6♠ 6♦ and obviously hits one on the 2♦ river for a straight, Dinh slams his chips and starts gathering his things.

Getting comfy in his new seat, Haitao Huang lays out 80,000 from +1 and quickly calls after small blind Wenhao Ying pumped it to 320,000 for the 6♥ K♦ 8♣ flop to drop. Ying continues for 260,000, Huang calls, the 4♠ turn hits and Ying slows down to a check. Huang senses weakness, forks out 350,000 and scoops the pot.

After Wenhao Ying busted Linfeng Sun, table 2 had two vacancies and chip leader Haitao Huang took one of the empty spots. Former table leader Ying won't be happy about this.

Heng Wang min-raises 60,000 from +1 and cutoff Haitao Huang tags along to the 3♥ Q♠ 7♠ flop that gets rejected for a free K♠ turn. Wang puts an 80,000 delayed c-bet in the middle, Huang calls and does so again on the J♠ river for 120,000. Wang flips over 6♠ 6♦ but Huang collects another pot with J♣ T♠ and the higher flush.

Catching the action on a K♠ T♣ A♣ 5♠ 3♥ complete board with 705,000 in the middle, Weiwei Huang bets 550,000 in position holding J♠ T♥ which sends Haitao Huang in the tank before he finds the call with A♠ T♠ losing two time banks in the process.

Hijack Heng Wang makes it 60,000, cutoff Xiaoming Weng ups it to 160,000 before small blind Haitao Huang pumps it to 300,000 and ends the hand right there, scooping the second pot in a row.

With 24 players remaining in the hunt the organizers redraw for the final three tables and hand out five additional time banks to everyone.

With 5♦ T♦ 8♥ on the board and 420,000 in the middle the two protagonists check to the K♥ turn where small blind You Kan Li tests the waters for 150,000 and hijack Haitao Huang pays up to watch the J♠ river complete the board. Li fires another 375,000 with K♦ J♣ , but is put into a tough spot by Huang who puts him all-in for almost 700,00 more. Li uses up all three time banks he has left, figuring out what missed flush draw combos might be in Huangs's range and decides to make the call. Huang flips over A♥ Q♥ straight, knocks out Li and scoops the enormous pot.

Under the gun Van Tien Dinh opens 50,000, Haitao Huang flats in the hijack and button Shuang Bao squeezes to 135,000 before Dinh's 350,000 four-bet gets the job done.

Cutoff Haitao Huang makes it 45,000 and big blind Jianan Wei defends to see the 7♦ T♦ A♠ flop where he calls a 30,000 c-bet from Huang before folding on the 4♣ turn to a 100,000 second barrel.
