Main Event (1,300,000 KRW)

Under the gun Hongjun Zhao lays out 10,000 and takes two players to the flop J♣ 5♠ 8♦ where his 12,000 c-bet finds a single customer in Liangyu Li on the button. The turn J♦ gets checked around to the river 9♦ . Zhao tries to steal with A♣ 7♣ , making it 40,000, but Li has his number and calls, showing J♠ T♠ .

Hongjun Zhao raises to 6,500 from under the gun and big blind Hualong Wang defends to see the flop J♣ 2♥ 4♣ where Wang calls a 6,000 c-bet. The turn A♣ has Zhao fire a second bullet of 11,000 and then calls after Wang check-raised to 27,000. Wang leads 35,000 with A♥ 2♦ on the river 7♠ and Zhao calls after spending some time in the tank before throwing it in the muck.

With 46 out of 174 players remaining we will play down to 22 players that qualify for Day 2 and ITM starting at 27.

The dealer flips over 2♠ and Q♥ to keep Wang in the tournament, albeit still on live support.
