Our SMP Field Reporter asked a Quick Question? to Australian poker pro Anton Lu after he became the champion of the TMT Championship 2024 Single Day HighRoller (Event #H3) at the Asia Poker Arena in Taipei, Taiwan.

How does it feel to be Single Day High Roller champion?

I feel great about the win. It always feels good to win a tournament.

I registered in this event before registration closed. Just because I felt tired, I didn’t really want to play throughout the day. I was sleeping throughout the day, came in, then registered and ran hot. I won a bunch of flips and then won the tournament.

How was the final table?

The final table had a bunch of good Taiwanese players. It definitely wasn’t an easy final table.

TMT Championship 2024 Single Day HighRoller (Event #H3)

It's down to the last two to battle for the championship of the Single Day HighRoller (Event #43). Who will claim the TMT Championship trophy and the top prize of NT$ 475,900 (~US$ 14,800)?

Anton Lu of Australia has a near two-to-on advantage in chips over Ko Chia Hsiang of Taiwan, but that doesn't assure the victory. Not in poker. Anything is still possible.
