9:42pm: Terry Fan wins the Red Dragon
Terry Fan has won the largest Red Dragon in history.
It was a speedy heads-up match and the first big pot yielded our victor. Fan raised to 200,000 from the button and Gie Angelo Reyes three-bet to 600,000
Fan asked how much Reyes had and the floor said about 3.9 million. Fan moved all-in and all eyes went on Reyes. Reyes called.
Fan turned over A♠5♠ and Reyes showed K♦8♠ for his tournament life.
The flop came 7♣8♦4♦ and Reyes and his rail exploded. Fan was immobile, with his hand on his mouth. Then the turn brought a 3♠. Reyes' rail kept screaming and Fan still didn't move.
Greenstein.
The river was an A♣ and Fan exploded. He jumped over one of our smaller photographers and hugged a person on the rail. It took fan a bit before he sat down and processed what had just happened.
He won the Red Dragon.
Reyes will get HK $1,242,000 for his runner-up finish while Fan will take the grand prize of HK $1,771,000.
Stay tuned for a wrap of the day's events.

Neil Chen -- 3,500,000

8:35pm: Three-handed
The fury of the Red Dragon continues.
We had a lull when the final table started, but eliminations have been incessant this level.
Fei Xie -- who was short-stacked after Neil Chen cracked his aces -- moved all-in for 1.2 million from the button.
Chen reshoved from the small blind and Gie Angelo Reyes folded from the big blind.
Chen was dominating Xie's A♠4♥ with A♥9♥. The flop came 6♦K♣9♦ and Chen paired his nine. The 4♠ on the turn gave Xie a pair and his supporters started screaming for another four.
The river brought a 6♣ instead.
Xie was out in 4th, earning HK $555,000.
8:20pm: Down to four
Andy Asihwardji was our short stack after Neil Chen's double-up and was searching for a double up of his own. Asihwardji moved all-in from the small blind and Terry Fan called from the big.
Asihwardji: A♥3♠
Fan: 7♥7♦
The board came 5♦2♣6♦8♦3♥ and Fan took down the pot. Both players were nearly even in chips but after a meticulous chip count, we discovered that Fan had Asihwardji covered.
Andy Asihwardji became our 5th place finisher and earned HK $393,000.
8:10pm: Aces cracked...again
Aces have not been a good hand this tournament.
Fei Xie opened to 200,000 and Neil Chen moved all-in. Action folded back to Xie who called instantly.
Xie: A♣A♠
Chen: K♥K♦
The flop came 9♦9♣J♦ and both players stood up. The turn was a 4♣ and the crowd peered in. Then the river brought a K♠ and the crowd exploded.
Aces were cracked once again and Chen doubled up to about 2.5 million. Xie on the other hand was left with just over 1 million.
8:00pm: Streak ender
Fanny Li's heater has come to an end. It was one of the first hands back from break and Li and Gie Angelo Reyes were faced with a 6♥A♠6♦ flop.
Li bet 250,000 and Reyes called, bringing a 6♠ on the turn. Li checked, Reyes bet 400,000 and Li moved all-in. Reyes called instantly and showed 6♣4♣ for quads. Li turned over A♥[10d] for a full house.
Reyes' quads took the pot and gave him a massive stack of more than 6 million. Fanny Li's streak ended and she became our 6th place finisher, earning HK $328,000.
7:40pm: Break
The remaining six players are on another break.
7:30pm: The Li spree continues
Fanny Li has done it again.
Sailesh Lohia moved all-in from middle position and Li called from the cutoff. Lohia turned over A♦A♠ and Li showed [10d][10s].
The board was a very safe 2♥6♥J♦Q♦, but nothing's ever safe with Li. The river was a [10c] and Li hit a set.
This marks the fourth time -- that we've seen -- Li has been behind with a pocket pair in an all-in situation and hit a set.
Li is now second in chips with 2.5 million while Sailesh Lohia becomes our 7th place finisher, earning HK $262,000.
7:20pm: Bluffing to the lead
Gie Angelo Reyes is known for being aggressive. He just reinforced that notion and took the tournament chip lead.
The board read K♠K♦5♠Q♦ and there was already a few hundred thousand in the pot. Terry Fan was in the cutoff and Reyes was in middle position. Fan had 330,000 in front of the bet line and Reyes raised to 705,000.
Fan then made it 1.455 million and Reyes thought for a bit. Then he moved all-in.
Fan folded and then Reyes showed it: A♣J♣.
Reyes took the massive pot and is up to 3.5 million while Fan is down to 2 million.
7:10pm: Action
The fury of the Red Dragon had been at rest long enough. First it cracked Yu's aces and then it eliminated another player a few minutes later.
Wesley Zhu moved all-in from the cutoff and Andy Asihwardji called from the big blind. Zhu turned over [10c][10s] and drawing slim against Asihwardji's K♦K♠. The board came 3♦5♦J♠8♦7♦ and Zhu thought he was eliminated.
The floor counted the chips and it turned out Zhu was still left with 40,000.
Zhu put the rest of his chips in the following hand from the hijack. Gie Angelo Reyes called from the button, Asihwardji called from the small blind and Terry Fan checked his option.
The flop came 5♠3♠2♦ and all three players checked, bringing a 4♦ on the turn. Reyes bet 60,000, Asihwardji folded and Fan called.
Terry Fan Poker Games
The river was an 8♥ and Reyes checked. Fan fired off a final bet and Reyes folded. Fan showed 6♠2♥ for bottom pair and Zhu mucked.
Wesley Zhu became our 8th place finisher and cashed for HK $196,300.
6:55pm: Aces cracked
We have our first final table elimination.
The flop read 8♠[10s]7♣ and Fei Xie and Ryan Yu got all their chips in the middle.
Yu showed A♠A♣ and Xie turned over 9♠9♥. Yu had the overpair but Xie had picked up an open-ended straight draw. A J♠ came on the turn to give Xie the straight, but Yu also picked up a flush draw.
The river brought a Q♣ and Yu was eliminated in 9th place, earning HK $153,000.
6:40pm: A river
We had our first showdown over at the final table.
It started when Neil Chen raised to 80,000 from under the gun and Terry Fan called from middle position. The flop came 4♦6♣9♦ and Chen bet 90,000. Fan called and the A♠ came on the turn.
Chen thought for a bit, then put out a bet of 250,000. Fan called again.
Chen thought for even longer when the 5♣ came on the river, then he bet larger, 450,000. Fan quickly called and Chen showed Q♥[10h] for the bluff. Fan showed A♣K♦ for top pair and took down the massive pot.
Fan is now at about 3 million while Chen is down to 925,000.
6:25pm: Slowing
Action has slowed down a bit now that we've reached the final table. The onslaught of all-ins and calls has been traded to small raises and folds.
But the Red Dragon demands 8 more victims.
6:15pm: Lohia's little victories
Sailesh Lohia is the only player left representing a country that hasn't won a Red Dragon: India.
Lohia has moved all-in three times but received no calls. He has gotten a lot of loud cheers from his rail though. Among those cheering for Lohia are fellow Indian pros, Abhishek Goindi and Sangeeth Mohan.
Lohia is now up to 800,000.
6:00pm: The final table

5:40pm: Break
Players are on a short break while we redraw to the final table.
5:35pm: The bubble bursts
After nearly becoming our final table bubble, Qiwei Zhu became the burster. Zhu open-shoved for 870,000 from under the gun and Yufei Zhen called all-in from the small blind.
Neil Chen folded his big blind and we had our last multi-table showdown.
Zhen: J♣J♠
Zhu: A♦J♥
The flop appeared to be a very safe Q♥8♥8♠, but then the turn brought a third heart, the 6♥. Players held their breath, the rail was leaning and the river brought a [10h]. Zhu hit a flush and brought us down to 9 players.
Yufei Zhen became our 10th place finisher and earned HK $113,812 for his performance.
5:25pm: A river save
We are one player away from the final table. After Rubianes' elimination Qiwei Zhu got moved to Table 1 and was almost our final table bubble.
Fei Xie called from under-the-gun and Zhu moved all-in from the small blind for about 380,000.
Zhu called and was ahead of Xie's A♥7♠ with A♠[10s]. That's until the flop came 6♦5♠7♣. The turn was a 5♦ and players from the other table had come over to watch.
They were one card away from the final table.
Or so they thought.
The river was a [10c] and Zhu doubled up to about 900,000. The bubble continues.
5:05pm: A double for Ryan
In between Rubianes' one-two knockout, Ryan Yu doubled-up over at the other table. There was a [10c]7♣8♥ flop and Qiwei Zhu, Gie Angelo Reyes and Ryan Yu were in the hand.
There was about 300,000 in the pot and and Yu had moved all-in from the big blind, Zhu folded and Reyes called from the small blind.
Yu showed J♠[10s] for top pair and Reyes turned over 9♠9♥ for a pocket pair and a straight draw. The last two cards were a 2♣ and a 4♥ and Yu doubled up to about 1.3 million.
