Championship Event Day 1B Recap
Day 1B saw its numbers slightly surpass Day 1A’s entries with 63 more turning up for the second flight on schedule. The room was once more packed with players set on surviving twelve levels of play. By the ninth hour, only 138 runners remained on the felt led by China’s Zhao Jiaming with a stack of 378,000, trailed closely behind by Weng Weifeng with 376,000. Though Zhao topped the larger field, Weihang Chen continues to lead the Day 2 pack with a massive 625,000 stack to start Friday’s games.
The last level of the day saw twenty more players fall short of making it to Day 2, of which included Feng Liu who lost a massive flip for a 92 BB pot. Sending him packing was Li Yong, who ended the day ranking 13th across the Day 1B order with 259,000. Interestingly, Zhang Zhuoqun who bluffed off his stack by the last few hands of Day 1A, saw his chip stack plummet down once more after suffering a bad beat against Cong Yuxiang. Zhang makes it through, albeit with only a four BB stack.
Joining the list are several Asian notables Xuming Qi (348,000), Shiina Okamoto (205,000), Tae Hoon Han (198,000), Park Yu Cheung (Sparrow) (128,000), Tianyuan Tang (75,000), Xixiang Luo (69,000), and Valeriy Pak (65,000).
