Day 1B Concludes
Players have bagged and tagged for Day 1B of the Poker King Cup Taiwan Main Event, with the tournament clock claiming that 68 players made it through, though this number could well drop when the official chip counts come in a little later.
As is often the case, there was a last-minute burst of action during the last five hands that resulted in Hang Chi's rapid rise through the ranks, with the Taiwanese player bagging up a sizable 277,800, which looks to be good for the Day 1B chip lead - pending official confirmation of course.
Wei En Shih finished not far behind on a stack of 241,200 - the only other player to breach th3 200k-mark, with Jae Wook Shin (172,100), Alex Lindop (167,700) and Yu Fai Wu (163,800) all bagging big as well.
There will be a full end of day wrap to follow with the conclusion of Day 1C, though official Day 1B counts will be posted as soon as they come through from the floor. Stick around and we'll bring you more action from Day 1C.
