Weiwi Tang Wins First Ever Trophy At The KPC Mystery Bounty Taking Home KRW 45,000,000 (~$32,895)

Level 30: 100,000 / 200,000 ante: 200,000

Weiwi Tang - Open Mystery Bounty Winner

After three opening flights that attracted a total of 475 entries, shattering the GTD of KRW 180 million to become the biggest KPC Mystery Bounty on record with a combined prize pool of KRW 363,290,000 (~USD 264,406) Weiwi Tang is crowned the new champion.

"I'm so excited! After all, it is my first trophy in live poker. I may seem very calm now but inside I’m feeling nothing but psyched!"

The runner-up at April's KPC Main Event for his first tournament cash ever of a whopping KRW 160,000,000 (~$112,590) battled through a field of 61 that started Day 2 earlier today, lifting his first ever trophy and takes home his second biggest cash of KRW 45,000,000 (~$32,895) plus KRW 8,000,000 (~$5,824) in total bounties for a combined payout of KRW 53,000,000 (~$38,586). Asked about Jeju and the KPC being his new favorite destination he said:

"Yes! I come from Guangzhou, a city not far from Jeju Island, so the transportation is convenient for me, for starters. And it’s my second time playing in KPC, which I think is a very professional poker brand. I feel assured and comfortable participating in the Series.

Finishing in second place in my first live event ever surely has been a driving force to me."

He will be playing in the Main Event again in the coming days to turn last KPC's runner-up finish into another victory.

"To be honest, I basically knew nothing about tournaments when I first started. So, I have spent lots of time studying, through poker videos and taking training lessons from famous pros. And I still keep doing it, because I believe you can never learn too much."

Good luck for the rest of the Series to him and the SMP Live Updates will continue for the Main Event Day 1A now. See you there!
