The Final 9 Of The Circuit Main Event Is Set With William Jia In The Lead

Level 25: 25,000 / 50,000 ante: 50,000

The Lord Poker Tournament Circuit Main Event with a prize pool of $700,000 has reached the Final 9 down from 60 hopefuls that started Day 2 ten levels ago.

Chip leader William Jia - a young Australian pro who came close to a bracelet at the WSOP last year, finishing 9th out of 965 in the $10k Mystery Bounty for $80K - was 10th in chips this morning, but 2nd on his table with a great position and applied pressure from the get-go. A pivotal hand came in level 22 when he took on then chip leader Stephen Song, defending his big blind with K♠ 2♠ against a button min-raise. He called a 3BB c-bet on the flop K♦ 7♣ 8♦ and switched to a 2BB lead on the turn K♥ that got called by Song and the board completed J♦ . Jia checked, Song forked out 5,5BB and called Jia's 16BB check-raise with A♠ A♣ . Close to the end he knocked out Yang Liu after winning a flip with eights against ace-king and ended the day by eliminating AAPoker Ambassador Quan Zhou on the final table bubble, open-jamming the small blind with 4♠ 5♥ against Zhou's Q♠ 9♣ and the board ran 8♠ T♣ 2♥ 3♠ 4♣ . He brings 2,575,000 (51BB) to the final table.

Second in chips and the most experienced player at the final table is American Stephen Song who has a bracelet and six rings to his name and won the EPT Barcelona $5K Main Event last September for a whopping $1,425,651. He started Day 2 seventh in chips, but had some heavy hitters on his table with overall chip leader Bin Wang to his immediate left. His break came in level 18 when he four-bet jammed Q♠ 6♠ for 35BB and doubled up against Xuanzhi Zhao with A♥ K♦ when the board ran 7♠ 9♦ 8♥ 5♦ Q♣ and went on a tear after that. Still on the most stacked table of the tournament he knocked out Rui Sun with aces against kings and won massive pots against other greats like Martin Sedlak and Nevan Chang that took him into a massive lead during level 20 before he lost with A♠ A♣ against Jia's K♠ 2♠ in the previously mentioned hand. After a roller coaster ending to his day, he bagged 1,945,000 (39BB).

Everyone has $9,700 secure for 9th place, but all of them will be gunning for the first prize of $120,000 and the trophy along with it.

The Final 9 will start at 12:00 on Friday the 16th of May and the SMP Live Updates will be there to cover the action from start to finish.

Under the gun Yang Liu limps before filling up Zhanhui Zheng's 65,000 raise from +1 to see the flop 9♦ K♠ 2♦ . Liu checks, Zheng c-bets 55,000 and Liu is in the tank with no time banks left.

The initial 30 seconds run down, the dealer starts another 30 second cycle thinking Liu will use a time bank, before Liu makes the call with 15 seconds left on the clock. After the protest of some players at the table the floor gets involved and rules it a call, which keeps the protesters unhappy, but the hand moves on.

Liu checks again on the turn 7♥ , Zheng fires another 160,000 and goes in the tank himself after Liu check-raised to 360,000. Zheng hands two time banks to the dealer before finding the fold.

Day 2 Of The Lord Poker Tournament Circuit Main Event Starts At 12:00 Local

With all four opening flights complete, resulting in 62 qualifiers - two of them twice to combine their chips - for Day 2 out of a total of 505, we just missed to break through the $700,000 guaranteed prize pool, but we still have a 6-digit first prize of $120,000 for the inaugural champion. Everyone unpacking their chips tomorrow will have at least $1,500 secure.

Day 1C chip leader Bin Wang will start Day 2 in a massive lead with 877,000 which gives him 175BB to work with once the blinds are dialed back to level 15 (3000/5000/5000).

Live Updates will begin when the cards go flying at 12:00 on the 15th and will be there with you until the Final 9 are determined.
