Haoran Yang Tops The 19 Qualifiers In Flight A Of The Jeju Open Mystery Bounty
Haoran YangWith 147 total entries and 19 qualifiers for Day 2, Haoran Yang emerges on top after 14 levels of play and a late charge that includes the elimination of Jun Peng in 22nd and Chi Jen Chen - Poker Dream 16 Mystery Bounty Champ with almost $1M in live earnings, including a $140,000 cash in the WSOP Main Event last year - in 21st before losing some to Linghui Dai - 4th place finisher in the WPT Korea Main Event for $118,737 here in Jeju a year ago - that left him with 410,000 in chips.
Coming in second, Artem Sofronov bagged 380,000 after popping the bubble with 9♦ 9♣ against Wang Guyue's 8♦ 8♥ , adding 35 BBs last minute and Yuheng Wu in a close 3rd with 375,000 after a double knockout of Yu Han Su and Chun Lung Wong with J♥ J♦ against A♣ K♥ and K♠ J♠ just before entering level 14.
Well done everyone and we will see you at the live updates for Flight B in a few minutes.

Linghui Dai Doubles Up Just As The Bubble Burst
Linghui DaiWith a 12,000 open from under the gun and a 60,000 three-bet from chip leader Haoran Yang from +1 in front, small blind Linghui Dai - 4th place finisher in the WPT Korea Main Event for $118,737 here in Jeju a year ago - wagers his last 86,000 and only Yang fills up.

Taiwanese No.15 Chi Jen Chen Out One Spot Before The Bubble
Picking up the action on K♥ Q♣ 2♠ 4♥ and 52,000 up for grabs, chip leader Haoran Yang jams and Chi Jen Chen - Poker Dream 16 Mystery Bounty Champ with almost $1M in live earnings, including a $140,000 cash in the WSOP Main Event last year - calls for his remaining 25,000.

Blind Battle Going Haoran Yang's Way
A limp from small blind Haoran Yang and a check from Chuan Shu Chen treat us with the flop 7♣ 3♠ 4♠ that has Chen call an 11,000 lead from Yang for the turn 2♥ where Yang jams and Chen folds after using a time bank. Yang shows 7♥ 3♥ two pair.

Jun Peng Gets Rivered And Is Out Two Places Before The Bubble
Jun Peng shoves 75,000 from +1 with A♦ K♠ and dominates button Haoran Yang who calls with A♠ 9♥ and needs major help. Everything is looking peachy for Peng when the board falls Q♦ Q♣ 5♣ 7♣ before going pear shaped on the river 9♠ . That leaves Haoran Yang hot on the heels of the chip leader.

Haoran Yang Earns Massive Double Up
With 34,000 already in the middle and the board complete A♦ A♠ 6♠ 2♦ T♦ we see small blind Cheng Lo apply maximum pressure by jamming his massive stack, putting big blind Haoran Yang in the tank. Holding K♣ 6♦ and contemplating a call for his remaining 85,000, two time banks go in the dealers direction before Haoran Yang puts on his cape to announce the hero call and is elated to see Cheng Lo flip over queen-high Q♠ 4♥ .
