Kurt Jung SeungmookHwang Dae Gyu Towers Over Final 15
Day 1 has carved a 97-entry battlefield down to just 15 remaining contenders, with the prize pool soaring to TWD 3,352,400 — comfortably surpassing the guarantee and raising the stakes heading into the final stage. All remaining players have already secured a cash, but the real fireworks are only just beginning.
Leading the charge in emphatic fashion is Hwang Dae Gyu, who amasses a commanding 1,465,000 — well above the 647,000 average — to seize control of the leaderboard.
Close behind is Kunal Patni with 1,215,000, followed by Chen Sin Lan on 1,085,000. Two more South Korean contenders round out the top five, with Kim Hyo Sung bagging 1,055,000 and Kim Soo Jo securing 1,035,000.
With Mystery Bounties activating on Day 2 — including the massive TWD 500,000 jackpot envelope — gameplay shifts dramatically. Survival is no longer the primary focus; the power dynamic now revolves around hunting knockouts for the chance to draw the biggest envelope. Big stacks will apply relentless pressure, short stacks become prime targets, and every all-in confrontation carries the potential for a game-changing bounty pull.
The final 15 return at 11:00 AM for the decisive stage, where chips, courage, and a bit of luck with the envelopes will determine who walks away with glory. Game on.
