The 177-strong APPT National field has been whittled down to the final nine players. All nine finalists are guaranteed a payday of at least KRW 5,795,000, but it is the KRW 57,365,000 (~$49,500) top prize that all will be gunning for.
The man leading the charge is Day 1A frontrunner Liang Song (China) who has a sizable chip lead with a stack of 1,655,000 - nearly double that of next closest rival Junda Yu, who has a stack of 838,000.
