Chao Zhang Runs Away With The Lead In Flight B

Level 19: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000

Chao Zhang - Baby Dragon Day 1B Chip Leader

Another 10 contenders are added to the lucky 20 from Flight A with the current prize pool already sitting at a respectable KR₩ 257 Million (~$188,647) and two more flights in the wings tomorrow.

China's Chao Zhang topped the 65 entry flight with 459,000, putting her into third overall at the moment. She tripled her stack in the last 90 minutes mainly due to an all-in with A♠ 5♠ against Vietnamese pro Nang Quang Nguyen's K♣ K♥ when the board already showed 7♠ 5♣ 3♣ A♦ and a blank 9♠ completed the transaction.

Chak Hei Chan

Hong Kong native Chak Hei Chan finished in a distant 2nd with 262,000 just ahead of Unknown Player from Japan who takes 232,000 into Day 2.

Anyone still looking to qualify can do so tomorrow at 12:00 in Flight C or at 18:00 with another fast paced Flight D Turbo that will complete the four opening flights and set the stage for Monday's Final.

This concludes the live updates for today and we will be back tomorrow at 12:00, right on time when the cards are in the air for Flight C.
