Superstar Challenge: Kim Wooseok Ends Day 1 as Chipleader
Day 1 of the Superstar Challenge has come to an end after drawing a field of 48 entries. When the dust settled, 27 players secured their seat for Day 2, and two names stood out from the pack.
South Korea’s Kim Wooseok finished as the overall chip leader, bagging an impressive 937,000 chips. Right on his heels is Singapore’s Ho Jun Yi , who will return with 927,000 chips, making it a close race at the top.
Completing the top three is Malaysia’s Mok Jo Seng, who ended the day strong with 686,500 chips.
The battle for the Superstar Challenge title is far from over, but the tone has already been set by these frontrunners.
