River Card Leaves Nguyen on Life Support

Level 17: 15,000 / 25,000 ante: 25,000

Xu Wang

Facing a minimum raise, small blind Nang Quang Nguyen moved all-in. Xu Wang decided to join the action, pushing his own stack of 440,000 chips into the middle, which quickly forced the initial raiser out of the way.

Xu Wang: 9♦ 9♠

Nang Quang Nguyen: J♦ J♥

Nguyen was in good shape with his higher pocket pair and kept his clean lead through the 5♦ 4♥ 3♠ flop and the 8♥ turn.

Just as Wang seemed headed for the rail, the 9♥ spiked on the river. The two-outer set sent a wave of awe through the tournament table, securing a miracle double-up for Wang and leaving Nguyen critically short-stacked.

Sootla Tanks, Calls, and Knocks Out Wei

Level 17: 15,000 / 25,000 ante: 25,000

Ranno Sootla

Under the gun Ranno Sootla started the action with an opening raise to 50,000. From the cutoff, Guoliang Wei moved all-in for his remaining 335,000 chips.

The action folded back to Sootla, who used a time-bank chip before ultimately making the call.

Guoliang Wei: A♥ T♠

Ranno Sootla: K♣ Q♣

Sootla took the lead on the Q♠ J♣ 2♠ flop with a pair of queens, though Wei picked up some straight draws. The T♥ turn paired Wei up to add some more outs, but the 9♣ river gave Sootla a king-high straight.

With that river card, Wei, a WSOP bracelet winner, was officially sent to the rail.

Rivered Boat Saves Yagura

Level 17: 15,000 / 25,000 ante: 25,000

Under the gun Xugang Zhang started the action with an open to 50,000. Takashi Yagura, the lone Japanese player remaining in the field, moved all-in from his seat for 345,000. Zhang made a quick snap-call to put Yagura at risk.

Takashi Yagura: A♣ J♣

Xugang Zhang: Q♣ Q♠

Yagura was looking for help against Zhang's pocket queens. The J♠ T♣ 5♠ flop gave him a pair of jacks and extra back-door outs, though the 5♥ turn missed his draws.

Just as his tournament life seemed in serious danger, the J♥ spiked on the river, giving Yagura a full house to secure a vital double-up.

Lam's Nut Flush Punishes Ravnak's Stalling Tactics

Level 16: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Chau Shing Lam

Facing an early position opening raise, Chau Shing Lam elected to flat-call. The action then landed on small blind Toni Ravnak, who had been actively stalling previous hands to preserve his stack. Ravnak moved all-in for his remaining 300,000 chips.

The initial raiser quickly folded, but Lam snap-called to put Ravnak at risk.

Chau Shing Lam: A♠ K♠

Toni Ravnak: A♣ 8♣

Ravnak was in dominant shape preflop and his survival prospects plummeted on the Q♦ 9♠ 5♠ flop, leaving him chasing just two non-spide eights.

The Q♠ turn sealed the deal instantly, completing a nut flush for Lam and rendering the Q♥ river a mere formality to eliminate Ravnak.

New High Roller Sparks Instant Action for the Departed

Level 16: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

While the door has officially closed on the Prestige High Roller, leaving the recently eliminated players with no way back into that specific field, a golden safety net has already appeared on the tournament floor.

The Single Day High Roller has just kicked off, offering an immediate avenue for those looking to jump right back into the high roller action. The tournament is already gaining momentum, capturing 10 entries in its opening minutes.

For the players currently walking away from the rail, or anyone else looking to get a piece of the action, late registration will remain wide open until 8:00 PM local time, leaving plenty of time to lock in a seat and chase the next trophy.

Max Late-Reg Zhang Climbs to 1.6 Million

Level 16: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Xugang Zhang

Down to 145,000 chips, Xiaoming Weng moved all-in and found one caller. The action then fell to big blind Xugang Zhang, who re-shoved over the top. The move successfully isolated the pot, forcing the original caller to fold and setting up a heads-up showdown.

Xiaoming Weng: 2♠ 2♥

Xugang Zhang: A♦ Q♠

The A♣ T♦ 4♦ flop immediately paired Zhang's ace, leaving Weng searching for one of the two remaining deuces in the deck to survive. Neither arrived on the 3♦ 3♠ runout, sealing Weng's elimination.

Zhang, who entered the field at the final moment as a maximum late registrant, now sits comfortably with a massive stack of 1,600,000 chips.

Level 16: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Action folded around to the button, where Guodong Sun moved all-in for his remaining 165,000 chips. In the small blind, Phuong Ngoc Nguyen re-shoved to isolate, and the big blind quickly folded to leave the two remaining players heads-up.

Guodong Sun: K♠ 4♠

Phuong Ngoc Nguyen: A♥ J♦

Sun was trailing preflop but held live cards to survive. However, the board ran out dry, coming T♦ 9♣ 5♥ T♥ 7♣.

Neither player connected with the community cards, allowing Nguyen's ace-high to prevail and eliminate Sun from the tournament.

Registration Closes at 101 Entries; KRW 713M Prize Pool, 16 ITM

Level 15: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000

The registration desk has officially closed for the Red Dragon Prestige High Roller, and the final field size has cracked the three-digit mark. A total of 101 entries were logged, creating a massive prize pool of KRW 713,222,000 (~USD 471,190).

The money bubble will burst when the field shrinks to the final 16 players. A minimum cash is worth KRW 16,600,000 (~USD 11,040), but all eyes are fixed on the top tier of the payout structure.

The eventual champion will walk away with a grand prize of KRW 190,022,000 (~USD 126,380) along with the coveted Red Dragon trophy.

Level 15: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000

Nang Quang Nguyen

Facing a minimum opening raise, Lee Wee Liew moved all-in for 390,000 as a maximum late registrant.

Directly to his left, table chip leader Nang Quang Nguyen re-shoved to isolate the pot. The move worked perfectly, forcing a quick fold from the initial raiser.

Lee Wee Liew: A♦ K♥

Nang Quang Nguyen: K♣ K♠

Both players held premium hands, but Liew was in deep trouble, searching for one of the three remaining aces in the deck.

The board ran out dry with T♠ 5♥ 4♦ 4♠ Q♦, offering no help to Big Slick. Nguyen scooped the pot with his pocket kings, sending Liew to the rail shortly after his late entry.

Guoliang Wei

Facing a minimum opening raise, Bin Leng stepped up the aggression from the button with a three-bet to 75,000. The action then landed on Guoliang Wei, who had just entered the tournament as a maximum late registrant. Wei wasted no time, moving his fresh 300,000 stack all-in.

The initial raiser quickly folded, sending the decision back to Leng. After spending some time in the tank, Leng ultimately folded, awarding a nice, uncontested pot to Wei right after sitting down.

Before scooping the chips, Wei flashed A♠ A♥ to show the table he had the absolute goods.

Fourth Bullet's a Charm for Nguyen

Level 14: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

Quang Minh Nguyen

Under the gun Chengxu Hu opened the action to 27,000 and found one caller before small blind Quang Minh Nguyen squeezed the price to 85,000.

Back on Hu, an all-in announcement quickly cleared out the flat-caller, but Nguyen snap-called for a total of 410,000.

Quang Minh Nguyen: A♦ K♦

Chengxu Hu: Q♠ Q♦

It was a classic flip for Nguyen, who had already fired four bullets in this tournament.

This time, the poker gods cooperated as a king spiked on the K♠ J♦ 4♠ flop. The 5♣ turn and 3♦ river changed nothing, locking up a massive double-up to finally give Nguyen some momentum on his fourth try.

Level 14: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

Georgii Klenin

The action started in the hijack with Georgii Klenin opening to 25,000. Sitting directly to his left, Xinyu Shen looked him up with a three-bet to 75,000.

Klenin was not done with the hand, however, and clicked it back with a four-bet to 200,000. Shen burned through a time-bank before ultimately folding his cards.

Klenin then flashed A♦ 4♦ to the table to show the bluff.

The successful preflop play completes a massive comeback for Klenin. On Day 1, a brutal bad beat saw his top set cracked by an open-ended straight draw on the turn, decimating a 1,200,000 stack down to just 200,000.

With this latest pot, Klenin has officially fought his way back to where the tournament journey started.

Joel Justin Singam dropped half of his stack early in the session, leaving the cutoff with 192,000 chips. Singam moved all-in from that position, and action folded to the big blind where Bowen Li made a snap-call to put Singam at risk.

Joel Justin Singam: K♣ K♥

Bowen Li: 9♥ 9♣

Both players held pocket pairs, but Singam was a massive favorite before the cards came out. The board ran out J♣ 4♠ 3♥ 6♠ K♦, keeping Singam safely ahead throughout before a king on the river locked up top set. The hand earned Singam a crucial double-up to restore the stack, while Li took a hit.

Level 14: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

Quan Zhou

The biggest stacks in the room did not take long to cross paths. The top two chip leaders from Day 1 locked horns in a massive collision that completely shifted the power dynamics at the top.

The hand swelled into a massive 600,000 pot by the time the board completely rolled out K♦ K♣ Q♦ 3♣ 3♦.

With a mountain of chips already sitting in the middle, Quan Zhou put the ultimate question to the overnight leader, firing a massive bet of 375,000 on the river.

Wenchao Liu went deep into the tank. After agonizing over the decision and burning through a time-bank chip, the cards went into the muck. With that fold, Zhou dragged the pot and officially wrestled away the overall chip lead.

The final opportunity to join the field has arrived, as the tournament enters the last level of late registration. Once this level concludes and the players head on a quick 15-minute break, the window will officially slam shut, locking in the final field size and the prize pool numbers.

The action has been frantic right from the start of the afternoon. In just the first level of play alone, an absolute stampede of 24 entries scrambled to the registration desk. That massive surge has pushed the total field size to 84 entries and counting, promising an even bigger payout for whoever navigates their way to the winner's circle.

Chau Shing Lam

After an initial raise and a call, Chau Shing Lam came along from the small blind. The action then fell to big blind Quang Minh Nguyen, who had already suffered two brutal bad beats on Day 1.

Having fired his third overall bullet of the tournament today, Nguyen moved his remaining 100,000 chips all-in. The field folded back around to Lam, who was the only one to make the call.

Quang Minh Nguyen: K♦ Q♦

Chau Shing Lam: 7♥ 7♠

It was a flip, but Lam’s pocket sevens held strong all the way through the A♣ 9♣ 8♠ 6♦ J♠ board. Nguyen’s king-queen couldn't find any help, sending him to the rail once again in the early stages of the afternoon.

Newly registered Win Meng Tan was left with a micro-stack of just 43,000 after an earlier loss and moved it all-in from under the gun. It looked like the desperation shove might successfully steal the blinds until Bowen Li looked him up from the big blind.

Win Meng Tan: K♦ Q♣

Bowen Li: 7♥ 6♥

The flop of T♦ 5♦ 3♣ kept Tan safely ahead with his king-high. The 9♠ turn card split the skies, handing Li a double gutshot straight draw.

The action heated up early on Day 2 when Harry Halim opened the action from early position to 20,000. From the big blind, Yuhang Liu picked up a premium hand and three-bet to 80,000. Back on Halim, he moved all-in, prompting a snap-call from Liu who committed his remaining 267,000 chips.

Yuhang Liu: A♦ Q♠

Harry Halim: A♠ J♠

Liu was in a dominant position to double up, and things looked even brighter after the Q♦ 6♠ 5♦ flop brought him top pair, leaving Halim with very few outs.

The J♥ turn card pairing Halim's jack gave him a brief glimmer of hope, but the K♥ river bricked out completely. Liu locked up the early double-up to boost his stack, while the newly registered Halim was left severely short-stacked.
