List of champions of the day's supplementary competition

The team standings have entered a crucial stage.

With the conclusion of the second round of the main event, the competition in the CSOP-IV team leaderboard has intensified.

The main event runs usually bring more points to the team, so after the third round begins, every player who is still on the field can have a direct impact on the team ranking.

In addition, the continued presence of champions and Final Table results in various supplementary events has ensured that the points competition is not solely focused on the main event.

The main event livestream table continues to be the focus of attention.

As the main event progresses into its later stages, the live stream table is also gaining more attention.

From the first to the second round, the live stream recorded a large number of key hands. As the third round began, the number of players on the field was further reduced, and the importance of the games increased significantly.

For the audience, the third round will be closer to the stage that truly determines the Final Table.
