A few hands later, Ji was at play again, this time with a call for 32,000 against Enzhi Shen's small blind jam. Ji is ahead with 8♥ 8♣ vs the short stack's T♦ 7♥ , and scooped up the overall lead as board K♥ Q♠ 9♣ 3♣ 8♦ landed him a set.

WPT Main Event Day 1B registration is officially closed with 207 entries recorded across the first eight levels. China's Xinxin Jiang currently stands in the lead by the last break of the day, stacking nearly three times the average stack.

One more flight is set to run through tomorrow, November 18, to wrap up the qualifying rounds.

Up against an utg open from Jinze Zhang and a button call from Evgenii Chzhen, Xiaqing Ji sent out a three bet to 14,000 right on the big blind. Zhang called in hopes to see a flop, yet was faced with another raise from Chzhen to 40,000. Both opponents fold, and Chzhen locks in the boost.
