After 12 levels of play, Day 1 of the WPT Korea High Roller has come to an end. A total of 40 entry slips were sold, having 12 runners find a bag for Day 2. Leading the way into tomorrow is Zheng Xiaosheng who ended the night with 619,000 (104 bb).

Following close behind the leader is Valeriy Pak who looks to add another deep run, after finishing runner-up in the Main Event just last night and his 606,000 (101 bb) stack puts him in position to do so. Another familiar face sits atop the charts as Michael Wang bagged 539,000 (90 bb) when all was said and done.
