PokerStars wanted to offer one last chance for players to make it to Day 2 of PokerStars Festival Korea Main Event, so they held a special turbo starting flight that kicked off at 9:30 p.m. Saturday and featured 20-minute levels. When the turbo madness was finished, 47 players had taken advantage of their final cracks at the prize pool, and 24 of them still have a pulse heading to Day 2.

PokerStars Team Pro Celina Lin, after bricking on the earlier Day 1c, made good on the opportunity and bagged 73,900, one of the bigger stacks. Lin was down below the starting stack early on, but her luck finally turned when she flopped top pair in the big blind and ran a straight against an opponent who flopped top two.

Lin was on the verge of bagging one of the very best counts, as she said she was around 120,000 late, which would have been good for the Day 1d lead. However, she flopped top pair of aces with ace-ten and lost a chunk to an opponent who made better top pair with ace-queen.

PokerStars Festival Korea High Roller winner Boyuan Qu still has high hopes of winning the two biggest events here as he also found a bag. Qu, who took down $64,195 for the aforementioned win, had a swingy go of it but finished with 66,800.

American Albert Paik, who won the last edition of APPT Seoul right here in Korea just last year, made it to the 12 sped up levels with 86,000.

Dosun Park, meanwhile, finished as the chip leader with 109,700, though that pales in comparison to the stacks of the other Day 1 leaders. The faster structure simply meant there was less time and opportunity for everyone to accumulate chips.

The 47 turbo runners means the total field amounted to 285. The 24 survivors of Day 1d will combine with the players who made it through the other Day 1 flights to form a 98-player field for Day 2. That bunch will take to the felt at noon local time on Sunday, and PokerNews will be bringing live updates throughout the day.
