Tingjia Cao Wins Prestige High Roller For KR₩ 146,580,000 (~$107,560)
The two-day KR₩ 6,000,000 (~$4,361) buy-in event with 135 entries attracted some of the best players on the Asian poker scene including final table appearances by Team Red Dragon Pro Chenxu 'Vanessa' Zhang who finished 3rd at the RDPT Main Event in May, Junjie He who finished runner-up in the same event and Hyunyeong Kang - runner-up at the RDPT Prestige Super High Roller last time around.
The marathon final table ended in an ICM deal between Tingjia Cao KR₩ 146,580,000 (~$107,560) and Yi Qin KR₩ 143,607,000 (~$105,380) during the morning hours on Wednesday after Tingjia Cao knocked out Jianming Luo in third. He called Luo's preflop all-in with A♣ T♠ and prevailed against Luo's A♠ 7♣ when the dealer flipped over 9♥ 4♥ A♥ Q♥ Q♦ . This put him into a slight lead for the ICM discussion after entering the final table as the short stack. The two played for about 30 minutes more before all the chips went in on A♣ 8♥ 5♣ A♦ with Tingjia Cao holding Q♣ 5♦ against Yi Qin's 9♣ 2♣ and the board completed with the 4♦ river.
