CPG Championship Finals

Running from August 24 to 30, 2024 at the Howard Johnson Resort Sanya in Hainan, China, this is the first of three starting days scheduled. Unlike most events around the world, China Poker Games maintains a repechage format which means no same day re-entry allowed.

The Main Event is suited with a fantastic structure of 300 bb deep. Registration is open for a total of 8 levels, each level running 60 minutes with 20 minutes break in between and one hour dinner break at the end of Level 4.

Running from August 21 to 23, with two starting days that drew 268 players and 538 players, Day 2 saw 146 players return. The money bubble burst at 92nd place however we were unable to catch it as multiple tables witnessed eliminations simultaneously. Once the ITM round began, Pham Tien Dung and Doan Quan Trung were among the first to cash.

Nearing the fourteenth hour, it was heads up between Huo Yu and Jian Guo Shu, both players sitting on 50 bigs each. However, in an abrupt clash, all the chips went in with Yu ahead to Shu’s . The final board ran , Yu shipped it with Ace-high.
