The Taiwan Millions Tournament wrapped up another successful chapter in its books with this season's Main Event games done and dusted. From a chart-topping field of 6,463 entries, the homegrown brand has once again brought a seven-digit headline figure on the table. With NTD 32,500,000 (~USD 1,000,000) in guarantees from the get-go, its prize pool ballooned to nearly 50% in added value, awarding a total of NTD 47,958,700 (~USD 1,456,825) in prizes for its Main Event alone.

The star of the show was South Korea's Young Kyu Kim, who bagged the largest share across the list, earning a career-defining cash of NTD 4,124,500 (~USD 125,285). Kim's first visit to the city of Taipei paid off wonders with the highly coveted TMT Main Event Trophy, crafted from the rare Calocedrus Formosana wood, right in tow for his journey back home.

TMT 17 Main Event ran from January 12 to 20 at the CTP Asia Poker Arena in Taipei City, Taiwan.
