Level 30: 125,000 / 250,000 ante: 250,000

Chi Jen 'Justin' Chu ships WPT Prime Taiwan High Roller for TWD 3,219,400

After a grinding fourteen hours on the floor, the WPT Prime Taiwan High Roller wrapped up with Taiwan's own Chi Jen 'Justin' Chu emerging victorious over the 118-entry field. Chu re-entered on the first level of Day 2 and was down short from the last three tables onto the final round. Chu locked in two crucial pots - both with pocket kings, to reach heads up play against running chip leader Seunghun Ko. Chu continued to lose a number of all-ins yet was able to bounce back right away by keeping the pressure up post flop. Following three levels of back and forth, Chu finally secured the victory, taking with him TWD 3,219,400 in winnings and the coveted WPT Prime Taiwan High Roller trophy.
