Local runner Kung Yu-Chien emerged triumphant at this season's PS Taiwan Championship games, outlasting a field of 862 entries to rewrite his career best live record to NT$ 3,601,000 (~US$ 109,300). Only 14 runners made their way to the felt for the Final Day charge, and didn't take long to see only nine remain on the hunt for the largest share of the NT$ 24,570,000 (~US$ 746,000) prize pool.
Kung came in middle of the pack and found his momentum right at five-handed after delivering Chia Hsiang Ko's elimination in 5th place, to stack half the chips in play. Turning up the heat, Kung went on to deliver the final three eliminations, of which included a quick heads up match against Ji Min Lee for the title. With a commanding 5:1 lead, Kung closed out the victory in just a handful of deals, with a final ace-high battle for Lee's last sixteen big blinds, ship Kung the coveted 24K Gold PS trophy.
