Main Event (1,300,000 KRW)

No miracle for Pu on 4♣ and 3♦ leaves us two eliminations away from the final table.

Pu hits trips and doubles up on 8♦ J♦ 8♥ 3♣ 5♣ .

Easter comes a week early for Chen on A♣ 5♠ Q♠ 4♣ 7♦ granting her a much needed double up.

Weiran Pu limps from the small blind, Chi Jen Chu makes it 100,000 and calls after Pu upped it to 275,000 to see the flop 3♥ 4♥ 9♣ . Pu spends a time bank before continuing for 175,000, Chu uses one of his own time banks before raising to 400,000, but snap folds when he is faced with Pu's massive jam.

The remaining 34 players have a KRW 5,200,000 (~$3,645) payday secured, but everyone will be gunning for a final table appearance and the chance to become new champion, worth KRW 216,500,000 (~$152,345) and bragging rights until the next 2025 KPC Series Event from June 17-23 2025 here at the beautiful Landing Casino.

Under the gun Weiran Pu opens 50,000 and big blind Zhi Zhang - right after losing a big chunk of his stack - defends to see the flop J♦ 5♦ 6♣ where he check raises Pu's 30,000 c-bet to 75,000. Pu calls and does so again on the turn 3♣ after Zhang led for 110,000. The board completes 2♦ and Zhangs 200,000 bet sends Pu in the tank who folds, losing a time bank in the process.

Under the gun Weiran Pu - fresh from a $309,000 cash for 5th at the $15,000 Triton Event #1 - opens 40,000 and big blind Yikang Xu defends to see the flop Q♣ 4♣ 9♣ where Pu continues for 30,000 and gets called once again. The turn 3♣ gets checked to the river 6♥ and Pu fires another 150,000 with a flush J♣ 8♣ . Xu calls and mucks.
