The player with the best chance of reaching glory is Zhiqiang Liu who stayed consistent throughout Flight F and Day 2, entering as the overall Day 2 chip leader and held position with 31 big blinds.

Keeping up with Liu was another flight leader, Hernan Jaybee Villa who will enter with 23 big blinds, and ranked third is Michael Bueza with 22 big blinds.

The gaps aren’t that big at the top which means it really is anyone’s title to claim. Even the shortest stacked Joven Huerto, the lone Metro Team Pro in the lineup, only needs two double ups to get back to good health.

It will be one exciting race that’s for certain!
