Cheng Hong Yuan Bubbles Day 1G

Level 20: 8,000 / 16,000 ante: 16,000

Cheng Hong Yuan

Down to just 34,000, Cheng Hong Yuan flicked in his last few big blinds and was looked up by Wan Ning Tan behind.

Slightly ahead preflop, Yuan couldn’t fade the runout as the board rolled 5♥ 4♦ 7♠ Q♦ K♥ , giving Tan two pair to seal the deal. With that, Day 1G wrapped up, and the final 121 players officially secured their spot in Day 2.

Martin Gonzales

Martin Gonzales found himself all-in and ahead with A♦ K♦ against A♥ J♥ , but the board Q♥ T♣ T♥ K♠ turned sweaty quick, giving his opponent the nut straight. Just as it looked like his deep run might get cut short, the river T♠ came to the rescue, locking it up for the Filipino with tens full.

Level 17: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Hong De Liu defended his big blind against Yu Ting Chen’s cutoff open and went the distance as Chen fired barrels on every street across a board of 5♣ J♠ 7♥ K♣ 8♠ .

Down to his last 50,000 on the river, Liu made the call with top pair K♠ T♠ and was right as Chen tabled A♥ J♥ for just a pair of jacks.

Level 16: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Tsai Tung Ying

Facing an early position open, Tsai Tung Ying cranked up the pressure to 35,000, only to see Jheng Sian Li cold four bet to 80,000 from the small blind. The opener folded, but Tsai decided to take his shot, jamming for 228,000, only to be snapped off by Li holding the best hand in the deck.

It was a brutal spot to be in, and the board T♠ 8♠ T♦ 3♥ 8♣ offered no lifeline. Just like that, Tsai was out one spot from the money, painfully bubbling Day 1G.

On the very next hand, Wook limped in and Yang checked his option to take a flop of 3♦ 7♦ 5♣ . Yang led out 5,000, and Wook made the call to see turn 9♣ . Both players slowed down with a check, revealing river 8♠ . Yang took another stab with 15,000, yet quickly surrendered after Wook pushed for 30,000 more.

Last Day to Qualify!

The stage is set for a dramatic finale to the TMT 18 Main Event starting flights as Day 1G and the Day 1H Turbo kick off today, the final opportunity for players to secure a seat to Day 2. With over 5,000 entries already in the books and the NTD 31 million (~USD 1M) guaranteed prize pool smashed, the pressure is sky-high for those still chasing Main Event glory.

Leading the current field of Day 2 qualifiers is Zong Chi He, who set the bar early with a massive 1,044,000 bagged on Day 1A — the biggest stack so far this season. With time running out, every decision counts, it’s now or never for those hoping to keep their Main Event dreams alive.

Registration remains open through Level 9 @16:00, leaving players plenty of time to make their move. Stay tuned in as SMP brings you live updates, key hands, and all the big moments straight from the tournament floor!
