Khoa Anh Ngo Triumphs in Red Dragon Prestige Super High Roller

Level 31: 600,000 / 1,200,000 ante: 1,200,000

Khoa Anh Ngo

The Red Dragon Prestige Super High Roller at the Jeju Poker Festival 2025 came to a thrilling conclusion inside LES A Casino (formerly Landing Casino), as Vietnam’s Khoa Anh Ngo etched his name into Red Dragon history by conquering a 195-entry field that generated an impressive KRW 1,721,207,000 (~USD 873,087) prize pool.

Ngo outlasted a star-studded lineup packed with poker elites boasting millions in total live earnings, including Punnat Punsri, Joseph Cheong, Dylan Wayne Foster, and Yita Choong, to capture the lion’s share of the prize pool. For his outstanding performance, the Vietnamese pro walked away with a KRW 426,157,000 (~USD 298,310) top prize and the glory of lifting one of the most coveted trophies on the JPF 2025 calendar, securing his place among the festival’s champions to be remembered for years to come.

Chengxu Hu

Ngo unleashed a late-night surge, first chipping a hefty pot from Christopher Young Park, then eliminating Yaoyu He. By the time heads-up play began, Ngo held a commanding 5.8-to-1 chip lead over China’s Chengxu Hu, who ultimately had to settle for runner-up. Hu had been grinding his way to the top and even held the chip lead for much of the final stretch, but in the last two levels, he couldn’t halt his downward slide and eventually bowed out first in the final duel.

The player who left the field with the most heartbreak was China’s Xiangyu Yu, falling just one spot short of the money. Yu put his tournament life on the line with ace-eight against Malaysia’s Sean Ooi, holding ace-king. The board offered no salvation for Yu, sending him out with the most unwanted title of the day: Bubble Boy.

Khoa Anh Ngo's Journey to the Title

The first to fall to Ngo’s run at the Final Table was Yilu Yuan, who moved all-in with Ace-Four against Ngo’s pocket tens. Finding no help on the board, Yuan hit the rail in eighth place.

After eliminating Yuan, Ngo kept a low profile, patiently waiting for the right moment to strike again. That opportunity arrived when he clashed with Christopher Young Park, holding pocket fours against Park’s ace-nine. Ngo’s sailboats flopped a set, leaving Park drawing thin. In the end, Ngo wrapped up the hand in satisfying fashion as his set improved to a full house on the river, leaving Park down to just eight big blinds.

Christopher Young Park

Yaoyu He was the last to fall to Ngo’s run. He moved all-in with king-high, only to run headfirst into Ngo’s pocket sixes. The board ran clean, sending He out in third place and adding more ammunition to Ngo’s stack heading into the final duel.

Facing his last opponent of the day, Ngo remained composed, skillfully leveraging his dominant stack to chip away at Chengxu Hu. A few hands later, Ngo shoved with jack-high, and Hu made the call holding pocket queens. Ngo paired his jack on the flop but still trailed, until another sick jack landed on the turn, giving him trip jacks to crack Hu’s queens and seal his eventual triumph.

Congratulations to Ngo!

Level 24: 125,000 / 250,000 ante: 250,000

Sean Ooi

Yaoyu He moved all in from the button for 4,125,000, with both blinds Sean Ooi and Yuhang Liu making the call holding similar stacks.

Sean Ooi: A♠ 7♥

Yuhang Liu: A♠ K♥

Yaoyu He: 6♦ 6♠

Liu looked good on the 8♦ K♠ 2♦ flop, but the 3♦ turn opened up flush possibilities for He, and the 7♦ river sealed it, giving him the flush for a crucial triple-up while eliminating Ooi in the process.

Liu was left with just 400,000, which went in the very next hand against He. The board ran out 7♠ 6♥ T♥ T♣ 8♠, giving He trip tens with 8♥ T♠ to end Liu’s run in 10th place, beating his K♦ 3♥.

Aaron Lim

After losing a previous all-in to Yita Choong, where Aaron Lim's king-eight failed to overcome the pocket threes of Choong, Lim was left with just 250,000 left, one big blind.

In the next hand, Choong moved all in again from the button, and small blind Lim pushed his last 25,000 chip in, and they showed their hands:

Aaron Lim: K♦ Q♥

Yita Choong: A♥ K♣

Lim had gotten lucky to have a premium hand, but Choong had more luck with Big Slick, making trips on the 4♣ 5♣ 8♠ A♦ A♠ runout, adding insult to injury.

Dajie Zhuo: 5♣ 4♠

Sean Ooi: K♥ J♥

Zhuo held the lead with a flopped pair of fives, but Ooi had plenty of outs with his flush draw.

Unfortunately for Zhuo, the luck wasn't on his side. The river brought the 4♥, the exact card Ooi needed, completing his flush and sending Zhuo to the rail in 16th place.

When the K♠ appeared on the turn, Foster took the lead with a 175,000 bet, and both opponents folded, letting him scoop a tidy pot.

Wang Kun

Wang Kun open-shoved for 385,000 from middle position and was put at risk by Hang Xu in the small blind.

Xu started well ahead with a stronger queen kicker, but Kun took over the lead on the J♣ 7♠ T♠ flop, hitting his jack. The tension remained, however, as Xu picked up a live flush draw.

The dealer revealed a 5♥ on the river, leaving Xu still hoping for a spade or queen to avoid Kun’s double-up.

Unfortunately for Xu, the luck was on Kun's side as the 9♥ came on the river, locking up a tournament-extending double-up for Kun.

High Stakes and Star-Studded Lineup; Final Day Action at the Red Dragon Prestige Super High Roller

The doors of LES A Casino (formerly Landing Casino) open for the Final Day of the KRW 12,000,000 Red Dragon Prestige Super High Roller at Jeju Poker Festival 2025.

After nearly 9 hours of play yesterday, the prestigious event drew a 97-entry field on Day 1, with 59 survivors advancing to the Final Day. Late registration remains open until Level 13, the total turnout is expected to surge further with another wave of entries. This also gives players plenty of time to jump into this prestigious prime event.

The runaway chip leader heading into Day 2 is China’s Yaoyu He, who amassed an impressive 4,110,000 chips, crossing the four-million mark. With such a towering stack, he is well-positioned as he chases his first Red Dragon title and aims to set a brand-new career milestone. When day 2 action begins, He is sure to leverage his stack and apply pressure on his opponents right from the start.

Chasing behind He is his fellow countryman, Renji Mao, a formidable player with two WSOP bracelets to his name and total live earnings exceeding $4 million. Mao built a stack of nearly three million chips (2,970,000) to begin his Day 2 performance. He is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

Rounding out the top three is Khoa Anh Ngo of Vietnam, who amassed a healthy stack of 2,720,000 chips. With over $1 million in total live earnings, he is certainly not an opponent to be taken down easily.

The action of the day is sure to be tense and breathtaking, as many star-studded heavy hitters bagged their chips for Day 2.

Among them is Thailand's Punnat Punsri (1,450,000), who boasts a jaw-dropping $30 million in total live earnings. Punsri demonstrated his wits, guts, and grit on Day 1 and is sure to perform even better, using his skills to pressure and outmaneuver his opponents.

Like Punsri, the United States’ Joseph Cheong (485,000), who has amassed over $20 million in live earnings, is also in the lineup and is sure to show his resilience and experience on Day 2.

Other big-name players with seven-figure earnings are also in the mix, including Dylan Wayne Foster (775,000), who will be looking to leverage his stack and continue making deep runs in the tournament. With so many accomplished pros in play, Day 2 promises to be full of intense action and high-level poker.

Joseph Cheong

Action kicks off at 12:00 local time, with the 59 survivors expecting more high-stakes grinders to join the battlefield in pursuit of the glorious title and dreamed trophy.

The blinds will resume at Level 12 (10,000/15,000 with a 15,000 big blind ante). The first challenge of the day is to play down to the money, with updates to be provided once registration closes shortly.

Ultimately, however, the main goal for all players is clear: to navigate the minefield and claim the title along with the coveted trophy.

Be sure to stay tuned right here as Somuchpoker brings you all the exhilarating moments and nail-biting showdowns from the felt, as the KRW 12,000,000 Red Dragon Prestige Super High Roller crowns its champion.
