Day 2 Started
The start of Day 2 is getting close here in Landing Casino for the 2019 PokerStars Asia Pacific Poker Tour Jeju ₩6,000,000 High Roller. After Day 1, the field of the event reached 32 entries and it was cut in half, with 16 players advancing to Day 2. Registrations will remain open until the start of Day 2, which means that the total number of entries could easily change and grow bigger.
The final numbers of the event and the prize pool will be announced after the start of Day 2.
Changyang Liu holds the chip lead after Day 1 with 269,100 in chips, as the only player who has over 200k. Another notable player is Jiang Chen, who is second in chip counts and has had some serious results during the previous APPT in Jeju with two final tables. American WSOP gold bracelet winner Shawn Busse is in the field too, with the sixth biggest stack after Day 1.

Xingbiao Zhu had some ups and downs in the first hands of Day 2. He managed to double up but then he lost most of his chips in a preflop all in situation.
Zhu was in the button holding up against the jacks of his opponent. The board ran out and Zhu was left with just 4 big blinds.
He busted just two hands later.

Yang three-barreled for 8,500, 20,500 and 16,800 in chips with the board showing . His third barrel was an all in too, and Hao He was his opponent and called all three streets. Yang showed for a full house and Hao He opened reluctantly his eights, after his opponent demanded to see them.
