Takashi Ogura made his first cash of the Poker Dream 16 event count by winning the Mystery Bounty High Roller to take home KR₩ 135,200,000 ($93,865). The event was another guarantee crusher as the KR₩ 400 Million was crushed by the 159 entry field for a handsome prize pool of KR₩ 851,349,600 (~$586,000). The #6 on Japan's all time money list had to beat Danish poker pro Henrik Hecklen in the heads-up before hoisting the trophy of this KR₩ 6,000,000 ($4,175) buy-in tournament.
The star studded field saw poker legends John Juanda and Steve O'Dwyer just miss out on the final table that included last months Poker Dream 15 Super High Roller champion Ma Haohui, who shipped last night's NLH Turbo, Zhou Quan, #5 on China's all time money list, American pro Aram Oganyan, famous for missing out on two WSOP bracelets in one week by finishing runner-up twice, and Malaysian Pro Yeu Wei Hsiang.
