Another bustling day at the Arena has wrapped up with two TMT Main Event flights playing down to completion. The later heat, Day 1F attracted an additional 623 entries and saw the mammoth NTD 32,500,000 (~USD 1,000,000) guarantee breached within the first two hours of play. Only 50 runners survived tonight's carnage with South Korea's In Hwan Lee holding the lead over the field.
Lee capped the day with an impressive 1,144,000 chip count onto Day 2 and stands to be the sole runner across the round to crack the one million mark. Lee's rise came by the stroke of midnight and extended even further all the way through the next seven levels. Compatriot Kiyoung Kim stacks just below Lee at quite a distance with 769,000, followed by local runner Pai Kuei Lin with 716,000 to round up the top three spots.
