Poker Dream 16 Super High Roller Final 9 Are Set With Wang Yilong In The Lead

Level 23: 100,000 / 200,000 ante: 200,000
Poker Dream 16 Super High Roller Final 9

Starting the day with 3 levels of late registration still available, we reached a total of 123 entries that ponied up the KR₩14,500,000 (~USD 9,998) buy-in to get us to a total prize pool of KR₩ 1,626,195,300 (~USD1,134,545) with KR₩409,200,000 (~USD285,496) up top and everyone guaranteed KR₩40,700,000 (~USD28,398) for 9th place.


Wang Yilong was the only one breaching the eight-figures bagging 10,075,000 who came back from 2,200,000 just a few minutes before the end, starting with a triple up that eliminated Yong Wei Keong in 11th and then bursting the final table bubble, knocking out Xu Qiang in 10th.


Martin Zamani had been chip leader for most of the ITM play, but lost a few in the end, still bringing 9,800,000 to the table in 2nd.


The Final 9 will resume play on level 23 (100k/200k/200k) at 1pm local on the 22nd of February.
