Jinguo Tao Wins Baby Dragon For KR₩ 129,688,000 (~$95,195)

Level 34: 150,000 / 300,000 ante: 300,000
Jinguo Tao - Baby Dragon Winner

Attracting 503 total entries across four opening flights the RDPT Jeju II 2025 Baby Dragon became the biggest of its kind on record with a colossal KR₩ 651,888,000 (~$478,509) prize pool.


A total of 75 players started the Final Day and China's Jinguo Tao emerged as the new winner, taking home a career high KR₩ 129,688,000 (~$95,195) his first trophy and the coveted Red Dragon Champion's Jacket.


He came to the final table as 4th in chips, played carefully when the ICM pressure was high, but unleashed his potential during the heads-up even in the eyes of adversity when he had runner-up Haozhao Wang on the ropes with a preflop all-in holding A Q against Wang's K Q but the board ran 7 K 8 J 8 , knocking him back down to a 2:1 underdog. He was in a commanding lead again about an hour later when he jammed Q 7 and Wang called with K 6 hitting a flush on T 2 J 3 5 while standing and cheering.
