Baby Dragon (1,500,000 KRW)

Another 10 contenders are added to the lucky 20 from Flight A with the current prize pool already sitting at a respectable KR₩ 257 Million (~$188,647) and two more flights in the wings tomorrow.

China's Chao Zhang topped the 65 entry flight with 459,000, putting her into third overall at the moment. She tripled her stack in the last 90 minutes mainly due to an all-in with A♠ 5♠ against Vietnamese pro Nang Quang Nguyen's K♣ K♥ when the board already showed 7♠ 5♣ 3♣ A♦ and a blank 9♠ completed the transaction.

Hong Kong native Chak Hei Chan finished in a distant 2nd with 262,000 just ahead of Unknown Player from Japan who takes 232,000 into Day 2.

Anyone still looking to qualify can do so tomorrow at 12:00 in Flight C or at 18:00 with another fast paced Flight D Turbo that will complete the four opening flights and set the stage for Monday's Final.

This concludes the live updates for today and we will be back tomorrow at 12:00, right on time when the cards are in the air for Flight C.

Being forced all-in from the big blind, Baofeng Zhang watches button Daiki Shingae and small blind Zhengwen Zhang gang up with a limp and a call, checking down the 3♠ K♦ 9♠ K♥ Q♥ board with Shingae's Q♦ J♣ coming out on top against 6♥ 3♦ from Zhengwen Zhang and 8♦ 2♠ from Baofeng Zhang to bring an end to the day.

Christmas comes early for Jiafeng Lin on 7♣ Q♠ 7♦ 5♦ 2♥ for a triple up and leaves Baofeng Zhang with a single 1K chip.

A sweat until the end on 2♦ 4♥ 9♣ 5♠ T♦ with Shingae coming out on top.

Jun Li gets ready to leave after the dealer flips over 6♠ T♠ 2♥ 8♣ before the A♥ makes him sink bank down into his chair.

Under the gun Wenchao Liu starts off with 22,000, cutoff Difei Wu makes it 50,000 and small blind Unknown Player wagers his last 184,000 which scares off the opposition.

The J♦ in the window is bad news for Xu who can't improve when the board completes 7♥ 2♣ 2♦ A♥ leaving him with crumbs.

No miracles for Zhang on Q♥ 9♦ J♣ 4♥ 8♣ and the field stays five eliminations away from the money.

Button Wenchao Liu puts a hefty 28,000 in front and small blind Chao Zhang defends to see the 2♦ 5♠ 5♣ flop where she donks 25,000 to end the hand right there.

No two outer for Nguyen on the 9♠ river and Chao Zhang takes the lead.

The 7♥ changes nothing and Quan Jin hits the rail.

With 18 players left, the third table breaks and we have two fully stacked tables going to the end.

Cutoff Jun Li makes it 8,500 and two players tag along for the 2♣ 5♣ A♥ flop where Li's 11,500 c-bet finds a sole caller in button Nang Quang Nguyen for the J♣ turn where Li slows down to a check-fold against Nguyen's 18,500 bet.

Cutoff Jiafeng Lin leads 6,000 and takes two customers to the 8♥ K♣ 6♣ flop where his 7,000 c-bet finds a single taker in button Xiaobin Huang. The 7♣ turn has Lin check-call 10,000 before the 8♣ river gets checked down with Lin's A♣ A♦ beating Huang's K♠ Q♠ top pair.

The 6♣ is enough for Chen to jump ahead and stays there when the 9♦ rolls off the deck.

With these 19 players left out of a total 65 entries the game will end when 10 players remain that make it to the money and the Final Day.

The Red Dragon Poker Tour Jeju II 2025 continues today, July 5, at the Landing Casino inside the luxurious Jeju Shinhwa World Resort with the highly popular Baby Dragon in the spotlight once more.
