The QQPk Pokerlympics came and went in just a couple of hours and emerging victorious was Malaysia's Liu Chun Keat for his second Poker Dream title this series. Liu is on a serious heater having won two tournaments at EPT Barcelona just before heading to Poker Dream. SMP was able to chat with the champion and ask all about his incredible run.

"I actually stopped playing poker for several years and since I've been back last year, I've been studying, and friends have been helping and guiding me a lot. Anything I am not sure of, they help me, and with my mistakes. When I returned to play live tournaments, I started playing Triton, and noticed the game changed a lot. So maybe I am running hot because I am making less mistakes."

"I really like higher stakes games, I like to play against the pros. I get to learn and it helps me improve my game. I like the challenge."

"My dream is to get more trophies and challenge myself to always improve. No matter what tournament I am playing, even this one, which is for TV, I still play serious."

Liu won a Poker Dream Malaysia 13 Main Event ticket + 10 Nights Hotel.
