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.

TMT Championship 2024 Single Day HighRoller (Event #H2)

The bubble has burst at the TMT Championship 2024 Single Day HighRoller.

17 entries made the buy-in of NT$ 80,000 (~US$ 2,500) to take part in the TMT Championship 2024 Single Day HighRoller event here at the Asia Poker Area in Taipei with only the top 3 players to receive a payout from the NT$ 1,220,300 (~US$ 38,000) prize pool.

The last 3 players have Shiina Okamoto to thank for knocking out the "Bubble Boy" who put all his 79,500 all-in from the button and got an excited snap call from Okamoto. "Bubble Boy" held A♦ T♥ while Okamato flipped over A♥ A♠ to show pure dominance. The board wasn't even finished and "Bubble Boy" was already packing and heading out the exits after seeing the flop, probably off to the nearest watering hole. Our SMP field reporter didn't even have enough time to catch a name.

In any case, "Bubble Boy" had good instincts to walk away. He was drawing dead on the flop of K♥ 8♣ 4♣ and the turn and river 9♦ 3♥ was just a formality.

The three remaining players are guaranteed ITM with the champion taking home the top cash prize of NT$ 610,000 (~US$ 19,000) along with a classy TMTC trophy.
