The third edition of the Won Poker Cup completed its first of four Main Event flights with 70 turning up for Day 1A. Among the contenders were well known pros such as Bien Mai, Martin Gonzales, Dhaval Mudgal, Kyle Bao Diep, and Khayal Abbasov to mention a few. By the time ITM was reached, with only 9 players securing a piece of the $600,0000 guaranteed prize pool, at the top of the list was Taiwan's Jian Lin, a newcomer to the festival. Lin bagged up 526,000 (65 bb) and set the standard for the next flight.
