Junjie Ren Holds Commanding Lead into Day 2

Level 10: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Junjie Ren - WPT Main Event Day1 C Chipleader

China's Junjie Ren closes the final flight on schedule with a dominating lead into the Day 2 rounds. Ren amassed a chip count of 529,000 by day's end and stands to be the sole runner to breach the half a million mark.

Ren stepped out into the limelight following a smashing hero call against Vietnam's The Nguyen Bui by the eighth level of play, having bravely called down all three streets with ace high on a ten high board. The Chinese runner successfully delivered his opponent's elimination following the call, and continued to chip up with a sizable pot coming from Tom Henricus propelling him well above the field.

Fan Shi comes second in position, stacking a healthy 445,500, followed by Japan's Andrew Matahira with 386,000 and Song Wang with 381,000. All four contenders sit atop the overall counts, having bagged just enough to surpass both Day 1A and Day 1B chip leaders.
