Rangkatekarn Teeraphat

The Poker Dream 23 Taiwan Mystery Bounty High Roller concluded on July 4 at Win Win Poker in Taipei, with Rangkatekarn Teeraphat capturing the title after defeating Ethan Lim heads-up. The two-day event attracted 28 entries, generating a TWD 1,935,360 (~USD 65,900) prize pool, with the top five players finishing in the money while also chasing the coveted mystery bounty envelopes.

High Roller Mystery Bounty Final Table

Rangkatekarn Teeraphat earned a tournament-best TWD 881,000 (~USD 30,000), made up of TWD 491,000 (~USD 16,700) for first place and TWD 390,000 (~USD 13,300) in mystery bounty rewards.

Rangkatekarn Teeraphat, High Roller Mystery Bounty Champion

Teeraphat was able to draw the tournament's biggest mystery bounty of TWD 340,000 (~USD 11,600) and an additional TWD 50,000 (~USD 1,700) envelope, which delivered the largest overall payday of the event.

Touching moment between the champion Rangkatekarn Teeraphat and runnerup Ethan Lim while drawing bounties

Lim's remarkable final table performance was nevertheless rewarded with a combined TWD 577,300 (~USD 19,650), consisting of TWD 327,300 (~USD 11,150) in prize money and TWD 250,000 (~USD 8,500) in mystery bounty rewards.

While Teeraphat ultimately lifted the trophy, Ethan Lim dominated the final table by eliminating three players. Lim put on a commanding display, as the chip leader going ito the final day as he tried to eliminate every opponent on his way to heads-up play.

Ethan Lim, High Roller Mystery Bounty Runner-up

Lim first sent Joel Singam to the rail in fifth place, worth TWD 123,000 (~USD 4,200).

Joel Singam, 5th Place

He followed that by eliminating Taiwan's Teng Kuei Hsu, who collected TWD

148,000 (~USD 5,050) for fourth place,

Teng Kuei Hsu, 4th Place

Finally, he dispatched Billy Alfonso in third for TWD 206,000 (~USD 7,000) in a two-hit combo.

After accounting for every other finalist, Lim entered heads-up looking to complete a flawless finish. Instead, Teeraphat rose to the occasion and claimed the only knockout that ultimately mattered. Teeraphat denied Lim the title, securing the championship with his lone final table elimination.

Ethan Lim Eliminated in 2nd Place for TWD 327,300 (~USD 11,200), winning a total of TWD 577,300 (~USD 18,080)

Ethan Lim

Ethan lost the lead on his first hand after the break.

The action folded to Ethan Lim on the button, who opened the pot before Rangkatekarn Teeraphat responded with a raise to 130,000 from the big blind.

Lim came back with a three-bet to 300,000, only for Teeraphat to fire in a massive four-bet to 1,000,000. Lim moved all in, and Teeraphat wasted little time making the call.

Ethan Lim: K♠ K♦

Rangkatekarn Teeraphat: A♠ Q♥ All-In

Board: A♣ 7♠ T♥ 8♦ J♦

Lim's cowboys were a clear favorite before the flop, but the ace on the flop immediately swung the advantage to Teeraphat's Big Chick. Teeraphat's top pair held to double up.

After several more hands, Lim was eliminated with his final hand:

Ethan Lim: K♣ 4♠

Rangkatekarn Teeraphat: Q♥ J♣

Board: 9♦ 7♠ 2♠ J♦ 8♦

Teeraphat pulled ahead on the turn after pairing his jack, while Lim's king-high never improved. The river changed nothing, securing the pot and the championship to Teeraphat.

Lim left with the TWD 327,300 (~USD 11,200) prize and three bounties for eliminating Singam, Hsu, and Alfonso that amounted to TWD 250,000 (~USD 7,830) for a total of TWD 577,300 (~USD 18,080). Rangkatekarn Teeraphat will be drawing his own bounty and the one for eliminating Ethan Lim.

Billy Alfonso Eliminated in 3rd Place for TWD 206,000 (~USD 7,000)

Billy Alfonso

Ethan Lim managed to eliminate Billy Alfonso in two hands.

Ethan Lim opened to 50,000 from the button, and Billy Alfonso defended his big blind.

The flop came J♠ Q♦ 3♣. Alfonso checked, Lim continued for 50,000, and Alfonso made the call.

The Q♥ paired the board on the turn. Alfonso changed gears with a lead of 100,000, and Lim called.

The 7♥ completed the board. Alfonso made a 300,000 river bet, but Lim wasn't going anywhere and made the call.

Billy Alfonso: A♣ 5♣

Ethan Lim: A♠ J♣

Alfonso could only table ace-high after his triple barrel, while Lim showed queens and jacks to win the pot. The hero call earned Lim another sizable pot and extended his lead.

Down to a short stack, Billy Alfonso moved all in from the small blind. Ethan Lim looked him up from the big blind with a dominated holding.

Billy Alfonso: K♣ 9♦

Ethan Lim: J♣ 8♦

Board: T♣ 3♠ 3♦ 4♣ 8♥

Alfonso's king-high remained in front through the turn, but the 8♥ on the river paired Lim's eight to snatch the pot at the last moment. The dramatic river card sent Alfonso to the rail in third place just before the break.

Alfonso left with TWD 206,000 (~USD 7,000) prize. Lim will be drawing two bounties for eliminating Singam, Hsu and Alfonso.

Ethan Lim: A♣ Q♦

Board: J♦ 4♥ K♥ T♠ Q♥

Hsu got off to a dream start by flopping top set, leaving Lim in need of help.

The turn gave Lim Broadway and Hsu needed a duplication for a boat or quads but he didn't get it.

Hsu left with TWD 148,000 (~USD 5,050) prize. Lim will be drawing two bounties for eliminating Singam and Hsu.

Ethan Lim

The flop came 5♦ K♦ 9♣. Alfonso checked, Lim continued for 50,000, and Alfonso responded with a check-raise to 100,000. Lim made the call.

The 2♦ landed on the turn.

Alfonso kept the pressure on with a bet of 175,000, and after giving it some thought, Lim elected to fold.

Alfonso's well-timed aggression earned him another sizable pot as he chipped away at Lim's stack. In the stream, we could see that Lim was ahead with 7♥ 7♦.

Flush Saves Alfonso from Elimination

Billy Alfonso

Ethan Lim opened to 40,000 from under the gun and was called by Mr. Rangkatekarn Teeraphat, Billy Alfonso in the small blind, and Teng Kuei Hsu, creating a four-way pot.

The flop came 2♣ T♣ 3♥. Alfonso and Hsu checked before Lim continued for 60,000. Teeraphat called, but Alfonso sprang to life with a check-raise to 150,000. Lim responded with a three-bet to 240,000, forcing Teeraphat out of the hand. Alfonso then moved all in, and Lim quickly called.

Billy Alfonso: K♣ J♣ All-In

Ethan Lim: K♠ K♥

Turn: 8♣

River: 4♥

Lim's cowboys were in front on the flop, but Alfonso held the king-high flush draw. The turn completed Alfonso's flush, leaving Lim drawing dead. The river was a mere formality as Alfonso doubled through, celebrated by taking a victory lap and exchanging knuckle bumps with his friends before returning to his seat.

Mr. Rangkatekarn Teeraphat

Teng Kuei Hsu limped in on the button before Ethan Lim completed the small blind. Mr. Rangkatekarn Teeraphat punished the limpers with a raise to 65,000 from the big blind. Hsu called, while Lim stepped aside.

The flop came A♣ Q♥ 4♣. Teeraphat continued for 200,000, and Hsu called.

The Q♣ paired the board on the turn. Teeraphat fired a smaller bet of 125,000, and Hsu responded by moving all in.

Mr. Rangkatekarn Teeraphat: Q♠ Q♦

Teng Kuei Hsu: 6♣ 5♣

River: 3♠

Hsu had turned a flush and jammed for value, unaware that Teeraphat had flopped a set before improving to quad queens on the turn. The meaningless river sealed the cooler, sending the massive pot to Teeraphat.

Mr. Rangkatekarn Teeraphat opened to 30,000 from under the gun, and Ethan Lim defended his big blind.

The flop came 3♠ Q♣ K♠. Teeraphat continued for 30,000, and Lim made the call.

The 9♣ fell on the turn, giving Lim Broadway with J♠ T♦. Despite improving to the nut straight, Lim checked, and Teeraphat followed suit.

The river brought the K♦, pairing the board. Lim switched gears with a value bet of 125,000, and Teeraphat paid him off.

Ethan Lim: J♠ T♦

Mr. Rangkatekarn Teeraphat: 7♥ 7♦

Lim's turned straight remained the best hand despite the paired river, and his well-timed river value bet earned the call from Teeraphat's pocket sevens.

Mr. Rangkatekarn Teeraphat

Mr. Rangkatekarn Teeraphat opened to 30,000 from under the gun before Teng Kuei Hsu called. Ethan Lim then squeezed to 150,000, prompting Teeraphat to respond with a hefty four-bet to 400,000. Lim answered by moving all in, and Hsu quickly stepped aside, leaving the two players heads-up.

Mr. Rangkatekarn Teeraphat: A♥ Q♥ All-In

Ethan Lim: K♣ Q♠

Board: 4♣ 8♣ 2♠ 5♠ 2♣

Teeraphat's Big Chick dominated Lim's king-queen from the start, and the board offered no help for the dominated hand. On the live, the other two players had folded kings.

Ace-high remained best throughout the runout, earning Teeraphat the massive pot while dealing a significant blow to Lim's stack.

Ethan Lim opened to 30,000 from the button, and Billy Alfonso defended his big blind.

The flop came A♠ 8♣ 9♣. Alfonso checked, Lim continued for 25,000, and Alfonso made the call.

The 5♠ fell on the turn. Alfonso checked again, and Lim ramped up the pressure with a bet of 100,000. Alfonso stayed patient and called once more.

The river brought the 4♠. Alfonso checked for a third time, and Lim elected to check behind.

Billy Alfonso: A♥ 9♠

Ethan Lim: A♦ Q♥

Alfonso revealed top two pair, aces and nines, having check-called both streets to induce further action. Lim tabled top pair with a queen kicker, but it wasn't enough to overcome Alfonso's disguised two-pair.
