The Liangqiang Pang Show Concludes Baby Dragon Opening Flights

Level 22: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Liangqiang Pang - Baby Dragon Day 1D Chip Leader

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!

Baby Dragon Day 1D Turbo Starts At 18:00

The Red Dragon Poker Tour Jeju II 2025 continues tonight at the Landing Casino inside the luxurious Jeju Shinhwa World Resort, wrapping up the qualification stage of the Baby Dragon. Two of the four entry flights are already in the bag with 30 players out of a total 207 qualified for Day 2 / Final of the KR₩ 1,500,000 (~US$ 1,102) buy-in event that currently sits at a KR₩ 257 Million (~$188,647) and will have Flight C add to the total early today.

Last May, this event generated a total of KR₩ 432,135,000 (~$310,123) which is likely to be toppled and right now RDPT Prestige Super High Roller Champ Yunchao Yu is in the prime spot to take the lion share as overall chip leader with 637,000.

Entering players start with 30,000 in chips which is 150 times the opening blinds with 20 minute levels and registration closes at the end of Level 10.

Baby Dragon - Schedule

• Day 1D Turbo 2025.07.06 - 18:00

• Day 2 Final 2025.07.07 - 12:00

SMP Live Updates will start coverage once Day 1C is wrapped.
