Flight C Complete: Tang Chi Ngong Claims Overall Chip Lead
Momentum continues to build in the Warm Up Mystery Bounty, with Flight C producing the largest turnout so far. A massive 148 entries fill the tables, and after a demanding nine-hour grind, the field narrows to 22 survivors advancing to the Final Day.
At the top of the counts is 🇭🇰 Tang Chi Ngong, who bags an imposing 560,000 chips to assume overall chip-lead duties. His stack surpasses the previous benchmark set by 🇹🇼 Wei Jen Wang, and he becomes the first player in the event to cross the half-million mark heading into the next stage.
Ngong’s momentum swings sharply in his favor early in the evening when he scoops a massive three-way pot with the nut flush, eliminating 🇹🇼 Chi Jen Chen and 🇹🇼 Chen Jui in a single blow. From that moment, he maintains steady pressure and continues to widen the gap as the levels progress.
Chasing from behind is 🇹🇼 Yu Chen Huang, who closes the day with 455,000 chips. 🇸🇬 Gerald Foo sits close on 452,000, keeping the race tight among the top stacks as the Mystery Bounty heads toward its climactic stage.
