Poker Dream

#3 Main Event (1,600,000 KRW)

After four days and running a total of 31 levels, China's Li Dong conquered a field of 1,394 players, absolutely dominating the final table, Li Dong emerges as the new Poker Dream 16 Main Event Champion here at the Jeju Shinhwa World in South Korea. In a post-win interview, Li shared,

"Generally speaking, as the chip leader, I had prepared myself with a strategy of acting according to the circumstances. If the opponent presented a strong hand, I would consider giving up the pot, because my deep stack allowed me to do so. But if the opponent showed weakness, I would try to take advantage of that."

The Main Event surpassed the guarantee hitting a total prize pool of a whopping KR₩ 2,580,588,000 (~USD 1,790,086) after 11 opening flights. The top 151 earned a portion. Additionally, 23 players qualified twice and 15 players qualified 3 times. Australia's Anton Lu earned the most Dream Bonus cash prizes for qualifying six times!
