The Chinese Lu Yunye completes the top 3 with a stack of 101,100. The defending champion, Chane Kampanatsanyakom is also part of the competitors for the second day. However, he should do much more if he want to be able to stay in the race as he finished Day 1A with 17,100 chips in hand. The Chinese Yaxi Zhu, considered as a rising star, will also be there.
