Siarhei Chudapal raised to 700 from the cutoff, and only small blind Roy Lee joined him to the flop.

The dealer fanned 9 2 2 , and Lee check-called Chudapal's continuation-bet of 800.

The 5 landed on the turn, and the action repeated, this time for 2,200.

Chudapal fired 6,000 on the 9 river, and Lee didn't take too long to put in the call, before mucking as Chudapal turned over T 9 for a rivered full house.

The registration desk does not currently look like this

There's a queue round the corner of players looking to register for Flight C of the National Cup Championship, and with the second level coming to a close, it looks like more records could be broken in this event.

140 players are now registered, with registration open for another eight levels.

Myonso Yoshiyama raised to 700 from the button before calling small blind Nuttawat Ittipakorn's three-bet to 2,000.

The Thai player led for 1,500 on the 9 T J flop, and Yoshiyama quickly called.

The 7 landed on the turn, and Ittipakorn fired 2,500, called once more by Yoshiyama.

The Q completed the board, and Ittipakorn sized down to 3,000. Yoshiyama took a moment before sending his hand back to the dealer, with the Thai player tapping the table.

Darren Goh opened to 600 from the hijack, and Kuo Hung and Roy Lee called from the cutoff and button, before small blind Sung Jin Yun squeezed to 3,600. Only Lee called.

On the T J 4 flop, Yun fired 2,800 and Lee quickly called.

Yun barrelled again for 7,300 on the Q turn, before calling Lee's raise to 16,000.

The 5 completed the board and Yun checked. Lee rather quickly jammed for his remaining 17,000, and without too much hesitation, Yun let the hand go.

Lee gratuitously showed K 9 for a turned straight.

The action was joined on a Q 3 A 9 5 board with around 7,000 in the middle.

Under the gun player Ekkacha Winpatthanon bet 5,000 on the river following a check from big blind Mitsuto Ito, and the Japanese player quickly put in the call.

Winpatthanon proudly tabled A J for top pair, but Ito had flopped the best of it, turning over Q 3 for two pair to take the sizeable pot in a rather tilting scenario for the Thai player.

So far the first two flights have drawn 820 entries. Flight A brought 602 (464 unique), with 84 players surviving, while 218 entries (181 unique) got involved in Flight B and 31 made it through. That's 115 players already locked into Sunday's Final Day with a TWD 20,000,000 guarantee on the line.

Players start with 40,000 in chips, and can jump into this flight until approximately 3:40 PM ahead of Level 11. As with the previous flights, the field will play down to the top 14%, with every survivor securing a min-cash and a seat on the Final Day.
