The action resumes today as the third opening flight, Day 1C, of the KRW 4,000,000 (~USD 2,640) buy-in Red Dragon Plus Championship is locked and loaded to kick off at 12:00 PM local time here at the LES A Casino.
So far, a total of 299 entries have turned out across the first two flights, with 96 players successfully stamping their tickets to Day 2.
The field taking the felt this afternoon will face the exact same structure as the previous flights: 10 levels of play, deep stacks, and plenty of room to maneuver.
Day 1B kept the momentum going strong yesterday, attracting 136 entries and wrapping up with 42 survivors bagging up for the night.
Zicong Jiang set the pace for that flight with a massive 648,000 in chips, while defending champion Jieming Xu isn't far behind after bagging a monster 567,500 stack. They will all be chasing Day 1A chip leader Yawei Deng, who still holds the clubhouse lead with a mountain of 900,000 chips.
For anyone who hit the rail during the first two flights or chose to wait out the early action, today offers the perfect fresh start. Only two flights remain on the schedule before the fields merge, and late registration stays open all the way through the first two levels of Day 2.
Updates will continue throughout the day covering key chip movements, big hands, and eliminations straight from the tournament floor once cards get in the air.
