The first round of the 3rd DXPC Main Event has concluded, with Xiong Ge leading Group C with 324,000 chips and Yang Peng taking the lead in Group D with 182,500 chips.

On September 13, 2026, the first round of the third DXPC Main Event concluded with the final two starting groups, Groups C and D, completing their fast-paced matches. Several players with past achievements in DXPC, CSOP, and other major tournaments participated. Xiong Ge ultimately became the chip leader in Group C with 324,000 chips, while Yang Peng, who finished 4th in the second DXPC Main Event, led Group D with 182,500 chips.

In addition to the two chip leaders in the group stage, Wen Zuyi, the runner-up of the first DXPC Main Event, Wang Haohui, the champion of the third CSOP in 2026, Yang Jingda, Sun Haoran, and David, who has won multiple side event championships this year, have also successfully qualified for the next round.

The last two groups of the first round of the main event have been completed, and the second round will begin on September 14.

The first round of the third DXPC Main Event concluded on September 13.

On the same day:

Group C

as well as:

Group D (Rapid)

Two starting groups.

With the conclusion of both groups, the first round of the main event is now complete, and all players who have successfully advanced will:

September 14th 12:00

They regrouped and began the second round of competition.

The official complete list of qualifiers and the seating chart for the second round were released in the form of images. The original text did not list all the names and scoreboards, so this article only summarizes the confirmed key players and their data.

Xiong Ge leads Group C with 324,000 points.

Group C was ultimately composed of:

Xiong Ge

Take the top spot on the scoreboard.

His advancement scoreboard is:

324,000

More notably, Xiong Ge had just won the DXPC spur event and is now advancing as the chip leader in Group C of the main event.

Group C Focus

From winning the supplementary tournament to leading the first round of the main event, Xiong Ge maintained a fairly stable performance in the early stages of this series.

Sun Haoran passed Group C on his first try.

Another key figure who successfully advanced from Group C is:

Sun Haoran

He advanced directly to the next round on the same day.

Sun Haoran had previously achieved significant championship results at the WPT Thailand event, and upon arriving at the third DXPC, he also qualified for the second round in the first category of the main event.

For athletes who have won major Asian series championships, avoiding repeated participation in multiple starting groups can help conserve energy for later, more challenging stages.

Wang Haohui encountered KK and AA twice in Group C, then switched to Group D and successfully advanced.

2026 CSOP 3rd Tournament Champion:

Wang Haohui

Group C had a less than ideal match day.

The original text mentioned that he achieved the following twice during his time in Group C:

KK

However, he ran into his opponent twice:

AA

His repeated clashes with top-tier starting hands ultimately prevented him from advancing from Group C.

However, Wang Haohui quickly switched to the Group D fast-track tournament and stabilized the situation in his second attempt, ultimately securing his qualification.

For a player with experience winning major series championships, quickly adjusting from a disadvantageous situation in Group C and advancing to the next round allows him to remain in the competition for the DXPC Main Event championship.

Yang Jingda outran AQ in 88 seconds, securing qualification at the last minute.

Yang Jingda also failed to advance in Group C, but he had a crucial hand in the final stage of the fast-paced tournament in Group D.

He holds:

88

The opponent then received:

AQ

After both sides went all-in, Yang Jingda hit the community cards:

Set

They successfully defended and took the pot.

This hand allowed him to regain his chip count and ultimately qualify for the second round.

Yang Peng becomes the chip leader in Group D with 182,500 chips.

The final results of the Group D fast-track competition were:

Yang Peng

They secured first place in their group.

His final score was:

182,500

Yang Peng achieved the following in the second DXPC Main Event:

4th place

Therefore, this return to the DXPC main race naturally makes him one of the key runners with a history of deep running.

Group D Quick Match Focus

Yang Peng's advancement as the chip leader in his group gave him a relatively ideal chip base before the start of the second round.

Inaugural runner-up Wen Zuyi advances to the second round.

Runner-up of the inaugural DXPC Main Event:

Wen Zuyi

They also appeared at the main event on September 13.

She ultimately qualified for the next round in the Group D fast race.

Wen Zuyi, who once made it to the final two in the first DXPC Main Event, has now entered the second round again, keeping his chances of challenging for the championship alive.

For players familiar with DXPC history, her deep run will be one of the key highlights of the upcoming races.

Qiang Ge's straight bet hits the jackpot, resulting in the worst day for Cooler.

One of the most dramatic hands of the day came from Brother Qiang.

Qiang Ge holds:

K♣10♣

The opponent then received:

Q♠9♣

Flip the card:

9♥ Q♦ 9♠

The opponent had already finished the game on the flop:

gourd

However, Qiang Ge did not improve his hand at this time.

Turn Card:

J♥

Let Brother Qiang complete the straight.

After their hands improved significantly, both sides went all-in with their score cards.

River card:

4♠

The outcome remained unchanged.

Qiang's straight was ultimately no match for his opponent's full house that was completed on the flop, and he suffered a significant loss in this Cooler hand.

David wins again, becoming a three-time DXPC champion.

In addition to the main event, important news also came from the supplementary events.

David is:

First, let's look at a picture of the High and Low Omaha Challenge.

They won the championship.

This victory brings his total to:

3 championships

He officially became the "Triple Crown Winner" in the current series.

What's even more remarkable is that after winning the supplementary tournament, David also participated in the main event's Group D fast race and successfully qualified for the next round.

In other words, he is not only accumulating titles in the supplementary events, but his journey in the main event is also ongoing.

Li Baikun wins the "Double Kings" fun competition.

Another supplementary match:

Double Kings Fun Race

Then from:

Li Baikun

Successfully reached the summit.

With David and Li Baikun winning their respective titles, the list of champions for this year's DXPC supplementary tournament has expanded further.

The champion of the day's supplementary competition

With this victory, David has now won his third title in this series.

Several industry leaders advanced to the next round, intensifying the competition.

Judging from the last two starting groups on September 13, the second round of this year's DXPC will bring together many players with extensive experience in major competitions.

The key points for advancement confirmed in the original text include:

• Xiong Ge

• Yang Peng

• Wen Zuyi

• Wang Haohui

• Yang Jingda

• Sun Haoran

• David

The participants include past DXPC Final Table players, recent major series champions, and multi-time champions who are in excellent form in this year's supplementary tournament.

This also led to a further increase in the overall intensity of competition after the main event entered the second round.

The schedule has been adjusted, and the second round will start promptly at 12:00 noon.

The organizers also announced that the subsequent competition schedule will be partially optimized and adjusted.

Since the specific adjustments were announced via official images and the original text did not provide complete textual details, this article will not transcribe the unconfirmed timeline.

What can be confirmed at present is:

The second round of the main event will begin promptly at 12:00 on September 14.

With all the starting groups officially completed, the third DXPC main event has moved from "competing for qualification spots" to real deep competition.

Xiong Ge and Yang Peng advanced with chip lead in Groups C and D respectively, while key players such as Wen Zuyi, Wang Haohui, Sun Haoran, and David remained in the game.

The next phase of the DXPC Main Event will focus on who can extend their scoreboard advantage in the second round and which past champions and Final Table players will be able to complete a deep run.
