Out of the 285 entries drawn to the felt in the Main Event at the first-ever PokerStars Festival Korea, just eight players remain. They'll return for one last day at the beautiful Paradise City Hotel & Resort in Incheon to play down to a winner starting at noon local time.
Leading the way is well-known Korean player Yuki Ko, who will take a huge stack of 2,820,000 out of the bag. No other player has a stack anywhere near that big; the next two behind him are American Scott Janik with 1,367,000 and Kiwi Taehoon Han with 1,345,000. Ko has been a force to be reckoned with on the Asian tournament circuit as of late with over $250,000 in career live earnings, and that number could grow by as much as just over $74,000 if he were to bank the top prize of ?83,130,000. All remaining players are guaranteed to cash for at least ?10,450,000, the approximate equivalent of $9,328.
There will be just under 19 minutes on the clock left in Level 23 (12,000/24,000/4,000) when cards fly. When that level ends, the structure will consist of 75-minute levels with 10-minute breaks every two levels until a winner is determined. Here's what the final will look like at the start of Day 3 action:
| Seat | Player | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mitsuru Sano | 865,000 |
| 2 | Yuki Ko | 2,820,000 |
| 3 | Jwahyoung Kim | 509,000 |
| 4 | Taehoon Han | 1,345,000 |
| 5 | Dmitrii Kovalevskii | 403,000 |
| 6 | Scott Janik | 1,367,000 |
| 7 | Weikuo Hsiao | 722,000 |
| 8 | Harunobu Kojima | 456,000 |
