Heung Tsz Kin Wins Super High Roller

Heung Tsz Kin

Past the crack of dawn, Hong Kong's Heung Tsz Kin came from behind at heads up against Steve Yea to clinch the record breaking Super High Roller title and the ₩396,300,000 (~US$ 299,150) top prize! This was Heung's first major victory and career best score. It was also his third cash at the ongoing series.


Congratulations to the champion!

Steve Yea

Finishing as runner up was Korea's Steve Yea for ₩266,840,000 (~US$ 201,425). Yea is having one of his best poker years on the live tournament felt. Just this summer, he nearly clasped a gold at the WSOP and now a near victory at the Super High Roller. This was also Yea's first ever Poker Dream cash.

Heung Tsz Kin is all in with A 9 and there to challenge is Shaoming Li with a better kicker A J .With the board running 8 6 Q 9 3 , Heung sighs in relief having come from behind.


Niklas Warlich opens then four-bets all in holding A K , Zhang Zhao Yue is covered and snap calls with the nuts A A . No bad beat arrives Zhang to double through.


Not so fortunate for Hu Jianwen who three-bets for 9 bb leaving half a blind behind, and is called by Zhao Hongjun. At the flop 5 7 8 , Jianwen goes all in for 100,000 (half a big blind) and Zhao makes the easy call. Jianwin is ahead J J against A 2 however, runner runner A 2 sends him crashing out in 21st place for ₩20,200,000 (~US$ 15,245).

Henrik Hecklen Seeks To Win $15,000 NLH Final Amidst Star-Studded Field

$15,000 NLH Final

Blinds 10,000/20,000 Ante 20,000


Date: September 27-28, 2024

Buy in: KRW 21,000,000 (~USD 15,000)

Entries: 52

Prize pool: KRW 1,016,652,000 (~ USD 771,000)

ITM: TBD after registration ends


Starting Stack: 500,000

Chips In Play: 26,000,000

Average Stack; 625,000

Remaining Players: 29


52 entries of KRW 21,000,000 (~USD 15,000) built a gargantuan prize pool of KRW 1,016,652,000 (~ USD 771,000). The top 29 players begin the $15 NLH today, but may be joined by some more players before registration closes.


Henrik Hecklen leads the field with a 2,805,000 chip count and is a big favorite to win the event. Hecklen has such as huge chip lead, and as long as he can maintain this and avoid big hits to his stack, then he certainly could have one foot in the door to the championship.


Hecklen has made significant cashes, but according to Hendon Mob, his last first place finish was still in 2022 at a NLHE Super High Roller event during the European Poker Tour London. Certainly, Hecklen is due for one soon, and today may be the day.


The second place in chips is John Juanda, who is more than a million chips behind at 1,610,000. Juanda is trailed closely by Daniel Tang with 1,590,000.


Of course, these two poker stars are not to be taken lightly. Poker legend John Juanda was a big winner last year in Poker Dream 7 Vietnam, winning a NLHE Super High Roller event.


Daniel Tang just recently made a huge second-place cash at the 2024 WSOP in the $50,000 PLO-High Roller. His last first place finish was earlier this year here at Jeju, winning the NLHE-All Star Showdown event of the Asian Poker Tour Jeju.
