Red Dragon Plus Championship Continues with Day 1C, Inviting More Poker Action

Welcome back to LES A Casino today as the gates open for Day 1C of the 2026 RDPT PLUS Championship, boasting a KRW 1.8 billion guaranteed prize pool. Action kicks off at 12 PM local time, welcoming the next wave of players.

Across the first two flights, a total of 521 entries have been recorded (243 from Day 1A; 278 from Day 1B). With the current turnout, the guaranteed prize pool has been smashed at ease, and is expected to grow further as more players continue to fill the felts, grinding for glory with unwavering resolve.

Jieming Xu

The chip leader from Day 1A, China's Jieming Xu, has amassed a commanding stack of 959,000, standing firm and well ahead at the top of the leaderboard. He's set to take a strong position heading into Day 2 as he is the only player to surpass the 900,000 chip mark so far.

Chasing behind is a heavy name from Australia, Aaron Lim, who accumulated a stack of 837,000 after intense play in Day 1B, while China's Yongbin Wang, also from Day 1B, rounded out the top three with 824,000 chips. The top-three stacks remain to be challenged as more poker elites enter the field.
