Level 20: 30,000 / 60,000 ante: 60,000

Kuan Lun Chen

At every Poker Dream festival, no trophy carries more weight than the dragon, and today, one was claimed by Taiwan's Kuan Lun Chen after bulldozing through the final day of Event #4 High Roller. Along with the prestigious hardware, Chen secured a career-high payout of TWD 786,000 (~USD 24,800).

Winner's Story

The day began with 14 players out of the 41 entries returning to hunt down the first high roller title of PD 23 Taiwan. Only seven players were guaranteed a piece of the TWD 2,302,500 prize pool. Wedged in the middle of the pack, Kuan Lun Chen was sitting on a healthy 50 big blinds while the day's top two entering players had double that amount.

After three fast eliminations with Chen steadily collecting pots, he picked up his first knockout in Alex Lindop to enter the final table as chip leader.

Before Chen's next takedown, Anton Lu won a big pot against Chen Chi Wing only to lose a large portion of it to Chen on a cooler. This sent Chen well into the 3M range (100 bb) while Lu dropped to 10 bb with ITM just two spots away. Chen continued to ascend; he scooped up the rest of Chi Wing's stack for his second bust of the day, then delivered the bubble in Jeremy Je Min Chan.

With ITM assured, short stacked Teng Kuei Hsu was ousted in 7th place then Chen struck again. Holding ace-five suited, Chen improved to top pair to crack Lu’s pocket jacks and send him to the rail in 6th place.

At this point, the bulldozing Chen swelled past 4M - amassing more than half the chips in play. He then added Dicky Tsang to his list of tournament kills to enter heads-up play with a commanding 80 bb to Waichiro Oka's 22 bb.

The final duel for the dragon was brief. Chen closed it out with a higher two pair to claim his first Poker Dream title and the first Silver Dragon of the series.

Congratulations to the Kuan Lun Chen!

Hand of the Day

At 9 players remaining, with blinds of 10,000-20,000, Anton Lu was challenged by Chen Chi Wing on a board of 3♠ 6♦ J♣ T♦ K♠ . With the pot bloated to around 425,000, Lu bet 150,000 and Chi Wing raised to 375,000. After using up a couple of time extensions, Lu called. Chi Wing had J♥ 8♥ for a flopped top pair, Lu had better with K♥ Q♠ for rivered top pair to take down the pot.

Waichiro Oka

The flop 5♣ 4♠ 6♥ was good for both players. Chen landed top pair while Oka had an open-ended. Oka checked, Chen bet 100,000, Oka answered with raise to 350,000, and Chen flat-called.

The turn 4♣ paired the board bringing no help to Oka who switched up and jammed. Chen quickly asked for a count then called.

With one card to come, Oka had 14 outs to help him win the hand. The highly anticipated river K♣ was not one of them, ending Oka's hunt in 2nd place

Level 14: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000

Sing Wen Chen

Sing Wen Chen entered the final day running second-in-chips with 68 big blinds, but that's all been dusted off in two hands. On the first hand, Chen opened on the button, got called by Ashwani Kumar Dewan, then big blind Kok Wai Sim three-bet to send the action back to Chen.

Wasting no time counting, Chen four-bet jammed, Dewan quickly folded while Kok committed all of his chips while turning over premium.

Kok Wai Sim: K♦ K♣

Sing Wen Chen: Q♥ T♥

The board ran dry for Chen, 2♠ J♦ 6♣ J♥ 8♠ , to ship a huge double up and catapult to the top of the counts.

Kok Wai Sim

Down to 27 big blinds, Chen was all in preflop again and was up against Waichiro Oka who had him slightly covered.

Sing Wen Chen: J♥ J♦

Waichiro Oka: A♠ Q♣

The flop favored Chen with a clean T♠ 9♠ 2♠ however Oka added more outs for the flush. The turn 3♦ was blank until the river A♦ for the higher pair spiked by Oka to boot Chen out of the field.
