Zhang Mai clinches Red Dragon Championship title

Level 33: 200,000 / 400,000 ante: 400,000

Zhang Mai

A fast paced final table gameplay landed on today's felt with the newest Red Dragon Main Event champion crowned in just three hours of play. China's Zhang Mai patiently waited for the correct spots, and allowed chip leader Nana Nakamura run table captain throughout the early rounds. It wasn't until Zhang delivered two eliminations - Kozo Yamada and Saito Go, in 3rd and 4th place respectively, did the Chinese runner overtake his opponent. By heads up play, all it took was one massive pot to ship him the advantage and eventually secure the win. Zhang takes with him KRW 392,403,000 in winnings, the RDPT Main Event trophy, and an exclusive RDPT Main Event Winner's Jacket.

Conratulations to all the winners!
