GOP Main Event Gauntlet
Welcome to Day 2 of the inaugural Gods Of Poker Jeju Main Event taking place at LES A Casino in Jeju, South Korea. Running from December 8 to 13, the brand's crown jewel drew 481 entries across four flights, each one experiencing the full force of the newly forged Cronus Structure.
With all the flights completed, only 66 players remain and will return today at 12:45 PM for the next stage of the race. While everyone is already guaranteed a piece of the KR₩ 1 Billion (∼USD 700,000) prize pool, the goal is to reach the final table and eventually the top of the podium where the magnificent Black-and-Gold Gauntlet trophy awaits the champion along with a cash prize of KR₩ 203,830,000 (∼USD 138,600).
Leading the charge is China's Peng Deng who amassed an overwhelming stack at Flight D of 3,553,000 which is equivalent to a jaw-dropping 177 big blinds.
