The Liangqiang Pang Show Concludes Baby Dragon Opening Flights

Another 14 out of 92 entries punched their ticket in Flight D Turbo bringing the total to 75 that will hunt the crown tomorrow at 12:00 noon. The 503 total entries had the prize pool balloon to a record breaking KRW 651,888,000 (~$478,509) resulting in a KRW 129,688,000 (~$95,195) first place payout.
China's Liangqiang Pang demolished the rest of the field in the last of four opening flights, bagging a whopping 689,000, good for the overall lead by quite some margin. He quadrupled his stack in the last hour when everyone was concerned about making it through the day. Meanwhile he has been raising and three-betting left and right, leading to several three or four consecutive wins. Putting a bow on his stellar run were the back-to-back eliminations of Zhihao Chen and Jun Piao that concluded the day.
Former chip leader Haobao Zhu came in a distant second with 287,000, closely followed by Junjie He with 263,000. Both will start in the upper mid field tomorrow on Monday 7 at 12:00 noon.
This concludes the opening flights and today's live updates. We will be back in a few hours when the cards start flying on Day 2 of the Baby Dragon. Good night everyone!
