Taeyoon Kang bagged the chip lead from Day 1b, with plenty to put them in the overall lead for Day 2. Kang is a new player here at WSOP-C, as far as I can tell, with just two cashes in Grande Prairie on his Hendon Mob page. Right behind him is a much more familiar face — Alex Liu, winner of the 2024 August WSOP-C Main Event here, as well as a Super Stack Main to back it up. Ngoc Nguyen, Gair MacInnis, and Teo Sanchez round out the top five stacks.
