Day 1 Of The Lord Poker Tournament SHR Main Event Is A Wrap With Haohui Ma In The Lead

Level 10: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Haohui Ma - Day 1 Chip Leader

The Lord Poker Tournament SHR $15,000 Main Event Day 1 with a guaranteed prize pool of a whopping $3,000,000 attracted 122 players and 58 bagged chips for tomorrow.

The late registration was pushed back to level 14 tomorrow for anyone who is still looking to make history by becoming the inaugural champion.

Poker Dream 15 and 17 High Roller Champ Haohui Ma topped the leaderboard after scooping a huge pot against then chip leader Jumiao She, getting three streets of value from a flopped top set of tens for a net gain of over 700,000. He will start Day 2 with 1,363,000 (136BB).

Nguyen Quang Minh - APT Taipei Super High Roller Champ for $283,854 three weeks ago - finished in a close 2nd with 1,276,000 (127BB) and third in chips Yunkyu Song - WPT Season 22 Player Of The Year - has 1,115,000 (111BB) to his name.

Other notables left in the running are bracelet winners Dominik Nietsche, Yinan Zhou, Mao Renji, Lei Yu, Calvin Lee, Ami Barer, Dong Chen and a flurry of high stakes players from all around the globe.

Day 2 will commence at 13:00 on Saturday the 17th and the SMP Live Updates will be covering the action from start to finish.
