Zodiac Goat Mini Event (12,000 TWD)

Taiwan's Chien Fa Chou ended his five year winning drought after towering over the Zodiac Goat Mini Main Event opener to capture the first major title of the series and a payout of NTD 1,145,200 (~US$ 34,870). Chou also became the proud owner of the very first ZSOP Goat trophy, a one-of-a-kind prize specifically designed for this event.

The ZSOP hit the ground running with 662 entries pulled in across four flights. With each entry paying up the NTD 12,000 (~$365) buy in, the NTD 3M guarantee was instantly crushed as the prize pool soared to NTD 6,119,200 (~US$ 186,320). The top 27 players earned a cut with Chou claiming the largest share after outlasting final table heavyweights Rob Sherwood, Kyle Bao Diep, Martin Sedlak, and Chen Yen Lo at heads up.
