Level 14:  3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 ante

The opening event of the 2024 Winter Poker Open drew 1,394 entries over six starting flights and 173 players return for Day 2 at 11 am. They are all in the money so we expect action to move pretty fast at the start despite the average stack sitting at 48 big blinds.

They will play 30-minute levels until after the second break when they increase to 40 for the duration. Blinds are 3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 ante and the average stack is about 241,000.

  1. Yunkyu Song – 766,000 (153 bb)

Event 1 Flight F: Crazy Bubble; Yunkyu Song Bags Overall Lead

$400 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$200,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 14:  3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 ante
Flight F Players Remaining:  52 of 448

Yunkyu Song

After not much action on the money bubble, other than Anthony Askey losing to a four outer on the river, until the final round of hand-for-hand. There were eight tables in play and five of them had all-ins called.

And all five lost players including former big leader Fabian Foster.

He lost a massive coin flip to Yunkyu Song, queens versus big slick, and Song bagged 766,000 to take the overall lead coming back for Day 2 tomorrow.

The big hands mean we bagged 52 instead of the 56 scheduled to make it through, all of them falling short of the money because you need to bag to get there.

We will post the payouts, chip counts, and seats as soon as they are available.
