Team PayWithCrypto Claims Victory at the Red Dragon Team Event

Champion Team: Pay with Crypto

The signature team event of the series, the KRW 2,000,000 RD Expedition Club – Red Dragon Team Event, wrapped up in brisk fashion, with Pay with Crypto (PWC) emerging as the overall winner after accumulating 46 points across the day’s three simultaneous formats: 8-handed SNG, Tag Team KO SNG, and Heads-Up Elimination.

The players demonstrated impressive teamwork while showcasing their individual skills on the felt. With teammates competing in separate events, success relied entirely on trusting one another and fighting for the team’s collective glory.

Sit & Go Winner: Fxxk ICM (FICM)

The first event to conclude today was the Sit & Go. The final three eliminations came in rapid succession, leaving neither the players nor the spectators a moment to catch their breath.

Claiming the first-place glory was Fxxk ICM (FICM), who dispatched his opponents one after another, demonstrating both guts and decisiveness. FICM began his final chapter of the day against Red Dragon Poker Tourist (RDPT), whose ace-nine ran headfirst into FICM’s pocket queens, sending RDPT to the rail in fourth place.

The next to fall to FICM was Poker Mars (PM). Once again, FICM showcased the power of his pocket queens, which boated up on the river, sailing PM to the rail. The final victim was Pay with Crypto (PWC), who called off his last chips when facing off FICM’s covering shove. FICM sealed the deal with trip queens, crowning himself the victor while PWC settled for runner-up, demonstrating the formidable “female power” bestowed by Lady Fortuna.

Heads-Up Winner: Red Dragon Poker Queen

After the winner was crowned in the SNG, the Heads-Up event quickly produced its own standout player. With levels lasting only 8 minutes, every decision was under the microscope, leaving little room for hesitation.

The fast pace ensured a tense and high-stakes competition, especially when players faced aggressive shoves from their rivals. Each hand demanded sharp focus and calculated aggression, putting players’ quick-witted skills to the ultimate test.

In the end, it was Red Dragon Poker Queen who emerged on top, sending Pay with Crypto (PWC) to the runner-up seat. The victory showcased not only individual talent but also the resilience and composure required to navigate such a rapid-fire format.

Tag Team winner: Project Refill

Catching up to the stage of the other two events, the final event of the day, Tag Team, quickly found its favored player as Project Refill (PR) completed his final sprint by eliminating his last two rivals: Pay With Crypto (PWC) and Red Dragon Poker Tourists (RDPT).

In a tense confrontation with PWC, who shoved with king-eight, PR responded with ace-five. Both players paired on the flop, but PR held the lead, maintaining control of the hand and ultimately sending PWC to the rail. The intensity of the moment left little room for error.

Shortly after, RDPT became the final casualty of PR’s dominance. RDPT’s ace-high was no match for PR’s rivered straight, cementing PR’s strong finish in second place in the Tag Team event. With skill, timing, and a bit of luck, PR showcased the kind of play that separates the winners from the rest of the field.

Be sure to stay tuned as Somuchpoker brings you chip counts, updates, and all the action with tomorrow's spotlight switching to Day 2 of the WPT Prime Main Event, the KPC Main Event, and the KPC Single Day Super High Roller.
