After four starting flights in the inaugural PokerStars Festival Korea Main Event, 98 players out of the 285 total entries remain in contention, and they'll take their seats at Noon local time on Sunday to battle it out on Day 2 for the top prize of ?83,130,000 and trophy.
Leading the way is Japan's Yuki Ko with 226,300, a familiar face on the Asian tournament scene with over $250,000 in live earnings to his name. Close behind him is Scott Janik with 215,800, one of the few American players in the field. Daniel Demicki (209,500), Justin Chan (203,700), Naohito Tamaya (204,800) and Dmitrii Kovalevskii (201,000) were the only other players to bag stacks north of the 200,000-chip mark after the first day of play, but with the likes of Sparrow Cheung (158,100), Takashi Ogura (140,200), PokerStars Team Pro Celina Lin (73,900), PokerStars Festival Korea High Roller winner Boyuan Qu (66,800), PokerStars Team Online Pro Randy Lew (52,700), and 2014 Asia Player of the Year Pete Chen (41,900) still in the hunt, victory won't come easy for anyone.
The field will play 12 one-hour levels on Day 2 or until eight players remain, whichever comes first. There will be a ten-minute break every two levels and a one-hour dinner break after level 18. A total of 39 places will be paid with a mincash good for ?2,860,000 and the eventual champion taking home ?83,130,000.
