Jumping Through Events

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Huidong Gu
Huidong Gu

Huidong Gu, a player from Macau, is here to play some poker, and he is not going to let events just pass him by. Gu did his best in the first High Roller, firing three bullets but couldn't advance to Day 2, and then he played the National where he managed to reach the final table.

Gu cashed in ninth place, winning ₩5,795,000 (~$5,000) and immediately reinvested some of this in a Main Event entry and is now playing in the opening flight.

Xinglong Huang
Xinglong Huang

The 2019 APPT Jeju High Roller 4th place finisher, Xinglong Huang, just busted the Main Event.

He was found with {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} in a board reading {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{6-Spades} but his opponent was holding {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for a better full house and took down the pot.

The players have the option of a single re-entry during each of the starting flights in the Main Event, and late registration will remain open until the 9th level of the day.

Lei Yu in a Good Shape

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Lei Yu is the player who finished in 6th place of the 2019 PokerStars APPT Jeju ₩6,000,000 High Roller for ₩12,744,000 (~$11,000) and he is in a very good shape, here in the Main Event.

He just lost a sizeable pot though, where he raised to 5,000 after his opponent had bet 2,000. The opponent's response was another raise to 11,500 and Yu called.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and Yu folded when his opponent bet 11,000.

Still he has more than 80,000 chips.

A High Roller Table

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Three players who also played the High Roller are in the same table today. Zhang Yang, Hao He and Lei Yu are sitting all together and if you add to them Xingbiao Zhu, then it is obvious that this is going to be a tough table for the others.

In a recent pot, they were all holding cards in front them, along with another player for five-way action, with Zhang Yang betting 2,400 with around 6,000 in the pot. The board was reading {4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and everybody folded, with Yang scooping a small pot.
