The MPC23 Red Dragon final table is set!

It’s been an exciting day here at PokerStars LIVE Macau and after six-and-a-half levels of action only nine players remain. Those lucky few will return tomorrow where one will be crowned the MPC23 Red Dragon champion!

Leading the way for our final nine is Taiwan’s Tse Jui Tsai. After a slow start to the day, Tsai scored a big double up by cracking Shao Po Liu’s pocket kings with ace-jack. Not long after he was at it again, eliminating Wenlong Jin to add more to his stack. He’ll start the final table with a stack of 2,495,000.

It was a wild start to the day with a lot of players across the tournament floor getting their stacks in with the hopes of doubling up. As more and more players were eliminated and those still left found themselves deeper-stacked things slowed down a bit.

Today saw 39 eliminations as we edged closer to the final table. Jiwan Park, Victor Chong and Team PokerStars Pro Kosei Ichinose were all sent to the rail. Ichinose ran his ace-ten into the pocket kings of Marin Yum and couldn’t outdraw her for a 19th place finish.

The title of final table bubble boy today went to Qi Luo. He found himself all in and chasing an ace against Yuefeng Pan’s pocket jacks. Luo did end up finding an ace on the river, but unfortunately for him it completed a Broadway straight for Pan.

And that’s how the day came to a close. You can find the final table seating draw and chip counts below. Click here to check out their player profiles.
