MAIN EVENT (CS) - 8 HANDED

After a marathon day for the players that tried their luck earlier in Flight C and had to come back for the last chance to qualify in Flight D comes to a close, we have the line-up for Day 2 complete.

The $2,000 buy-in flight attracted 181 players and saw 37 move on to Day 2 tomorrow with Jieming Xu bagging the lead for 241,000, which is miles away from the overall chip leader Bin Wang that finished Flight C with 877,000.

Wen Wen Chen made it to 235,000 after a later charge that started in level 10 with only 22,600 and Italian Raffaele Sorrentino rounds out the top 3 with a stack of 217,000.

All of the qualifiers better get some rest soon to be back at the tables fresh when the cards start flying for Day 2 in less than eight hours.

The SMP Live Update Crew will be back as well, starting at 12:00 local to bring you all the action until the end of Day 2.

Things are looking rather peachy for Wang on the flop Q♦ 6♠ T♥ before turning pear shaped when the turn falls A♠ . The river 3♥ solidifies Wang as the bubble boy and the rest of the field starts to bag their chips.

Xiangqian Gong leads 12,000 from +2, Kaihua Liu flats and small blind Chuan Luo is all-in for 27,000 once more. Both opponents call and check it down to the river 8♦ 5♠ J♣ 5♥ K♣ that has Luo table the winner K♥ K♦ against Gong's 2♠ 2♦ and Liu's A♣ J♦ .

Everyone is getting ready to count their chips when the board runs 4♠ 7♥ 3♦ K♠ before the river 8♠ keeps Luo alive and the bubble intact.

Chip leader Quan Zhou opens 11,000 from +1 and takes cutoff Xiangqian Gong to the flop 6♣ 7♠ T♦ where Zhou initiates a triple barrel of 15,000, 28,000 and 85,000 to the river 6♦ and Q♠ with Gong calling all the way, putting his last 41,000 on the line with king-high K♠ J♠ to beat Zhou's 3♣ 5♦ .

No help for Cai on 8♣ 6♣ 6♥ 9♣ Q♦ and we are one bust away from the bubble.

Jiangpu Jin lays out 10,000 from +1, hijack Jieming Xu ups it to 23,000, but folds when faced with a 65,000 four-bet from Jin.

After winning her last all-in a few hands ago, Hua Wei Lin open jammed three times with no callers, taking her back over the average stack of 107K right now.

The turn 2♣ has Ooi's odds go up further before plummeting to zero on the river Q♦ , sending the young Malaysian to the rail.

The dealer makes short work of the underdog by hitting the felt 3♥ K♣ 8♠ 9♣ Q♠ to keep Lin in the tournament.

The flop comes 6♦ 7♦ 9♥ before the dealer flips over the K♠ turn and half the table lets out a gasp. The river 4♥ makes the bad beat official.

Hijack Raffaele Sorrentino opens 5,000 and calls after cutoff Pingfeng Wu upped it to 14,000. Sorrentino check-calls 7,000 on the flop T♣ A♣ K♦ and 24,000 on the turn 3♥ before the board completes Q♣ . Sorrentino jams 62,000 with K♣ J♣ royal flush and Wu snaps with K♠ J♦ straight.

The 7♦ river keeps Yi Yang ahead and thins out the field some more.

Small blind Huan Wen makes it 8,000 and Quan Zhou defends to see the flop 4♠ K♦ J♦ where Wen c-bets 3,000 and fills up after Zhou pumped it to 22,000. No more action on 8♦ and A♥ has Zhou come out on top with two-pair J♠ 4♣ against Wen's K♣ Q♣ .

Weichen Wang opens 4,500 from +1 and takes two customers to the flop 3♥ J♣ T♣ where he continues for 5,000. Only hijack Yi Yang sticks around to the turn J♥ and the action checks to him. Sensing weakness, Yi lays out 15,000 which gets the job done.

Christian Harder limps his small blind and Quan Zhou - fresh from his $1,193,000 Triton cash - opts to check for the flop 9♠ 4♠ J♣ to hit the felt. Harder triple barrels 2,500, 8,000 and 5,600 to the river 6♣ and 9♦ with Zhou calling all the way with king-high K♦ T♦ who scoops the pot against Harder's 8♣ T♣ .

With 63 out of 181 total entries still standing we will play down to 37 ITM spots.

Far from a miracle on Q♣ J♣ 5♦ T♣ T♥ , the Australian High Roller specialist Julian Warhurst has to pack things up.

Under the gun Haohui Ma leads 3,200 and Boxin Jin - fresh from a last minute rebuy - calls from +1 to see the flop 9♠ 3♠ T♦ that gets checked to the turn 3♣ . Ma puts out a 5,500 delayed c-bet and Jin pays up. The river J♥ gets checked down with Ma tabling the winner T♣ 9♣ .

With a 3,500 raise and an 8,800 three-bet from cutoff Ivan Zhang in front, big blind Wen Wen Chen squeeze jams 22,600. The initial raiser folds and Zhang tanks with the use of a time bank before doing the same.

Zhong evades all the outs on the river 9♣ , giving him two pair and more than a double up.

Button Sean Ooi makes it 2,800 and big blind Haoran Yang defends. The flop gets checked to the turn 3♦ 7♣ 4♠ 8♠ where Yang's 3,500 lead gets called for the board to complete 3♣ .

With the action folded to him, small blind Toan Chan Truong limps before calling a 5,000 raise from Zehao Li. The flop 7♦ A♦ 4♣ gets checked to the turn 3♥ where Li fires a 6,500 delayed c-bet that gets check-called before he puts Truong all-in on the river Q♦ with 4♥ 4♦ . Truong hero calls with 6♥ 7♥ for his last 18,600 before vacating his seat.

Everything is looking peachy for Zheng on 2♣ 6♦ J♥ 5♠ before going pear shaped on the river A♠ sending him to the rail with one level of late reg still available.

Lu immediately hits one of his three outs on the board A♦ 2♥ 8♣ 9♠ 3♦ for a much needed double up.

The turn J♥ and river T♣ keep Liu ahead for a double up.
