Day 1C
Qingjun Wu Eliminated by Jong Ju Park

Down to just 27,500 in chips, Qingjun Wu three-bet jammed and was called by Jong Ju Park. Both paired their kicker on the J♥ 7♦ 3♠ flop and the J♣ turn left Wu drawing dead, making the 2♥ river a formality.

Longhao Shen Has the Number of Hyunsoo Kim
Hyunsoo Kim defended his big blind against Longhao Shen and check-called the Q♣ 9♥ 7♠ flop for 10,000. After the 2♦ turn, they both checked and Kim checked again the T♠ on the river. Shen bet 17,000 and Kim reluctantly paid it off to expose Q♥ 6♦ for top pair once Shen revealed his K♥ Q♦ for the superior kicker.

Qingjun Wu Doubles Through Geunpil Go
A reraise to 7,500 was out in front of Geunpil Go and he then faced the all-in of Qingjun Wu for 28,000 total. Go reluctantly called with his ace-jack but the A♠ K♥ 2♥ 5♣ 6♣ board was never a threat for Wu.

Qingjun Wu Takes a Hit Against EZ
On the tail end of a A♣ J♣ 8♠ 3♦ J♥ board, EZ in the big blind made it 19,000 to go into a pot of around 50,000. Qingjun Wu on the button tank-called and mucked when the player from Japan showed his 3♣ 3♥ for a turned set and rivered full house.

Min Hyeong Lee Barrels for the Win
Qingjun Wu raised to 1,800 from under the gun and Min Hyeong Lee three-bet to 5,000 in the next seat. The big blind called and Wu made it three ways to the K♠ 4♦ 3♥ flop, where it checked to Lee. His continuation bet of 4,000 was check-called once as Wu folded.
On the A♦ turn, the action checked to Lee and he bet another 14,000 to eventually force a very reluctant fold.

Day 1B
Down to 17 Players

Despite the latter picking up the superior diamond draw as well, the pair held on a board of T♦ 4♣ 2♦ 6♦ 3♠ . However, soon after, Kwon made up for the minor setback when he knocked out Qingjun Wu to bring the field down to 17 hopefuls.

Konosuke Yoshimura Sticks Around for Now
