Day 1B of the APC Da Nang MAIN EVENT ended with 10 more qualifiers into the Day 2 pool. Amassing the enormous chip lead of 886,000 (74 BB) was Ji Won Yoon aka Sharon to brandish against the collected pool of poker pros gunning for the ₫8 Billion (~$337K) guaranteed prize pool.
Ji Won Yoon (Sharon)
The action hand that catapulted Yoon to the top was 
completing the open-ended on the river 
to defeat a player’s 
over pair. The shoves were seen at the flop. Yoon earned more than 400K chips in the process and is now the overall Day 2 chip leader with two entry days remaining.
In second rank by a wide 27 BB less was Se Kyung Oh with 559,000 chips (47 BB). Oh ended the run of an extremely short stacked player on the bubble to end Day 1B.
