Red Dragon Championship (2,000,000 KRW)

Nengyue Chen defended his open and called a 3,300 three bet from Zeyu Sun on the button. Sun continued for 2,500 on flop 9♦ K♦ 6♥ , check called by his opponent. Both turn T♣ and river A♠ welcomed no more bets, revealing Chen's set T♦ T♥ for the pot.

Facing an early open and a three bet from Tao Zhang, Zeyu Sun on the small blind shoved all-in, snap called by Zhang with the rockets for his entire 98,000 stack. Zhang secured the double up in no sweat just as board 6♠ T♣ 9♣ 5♦ T♦ landed on the felt.

Zeyu Sun opened 5,500 on the cutoff, followed by a three bet to 16,500 from Zheng Cai right behind. Tao Zhang on the big blind, squeezed all-in, and picked up the dead money as both folded.

Registration will also close following the break, with Day 1B remaining open for late entrants. Zhengshan Hao currently leads the charge, stacking nearly three times the average stack.
