Ever since Linghui Dai's breakout victory at the WPT Main Event Jeju in March 2024, he has been chasing that winning rush, returning again and again to the island that first crowned him champion. Despite multiple deep runs and final table appearances across various events, a second win eluded him until the final day of the RDPT Jeju II festival. Dai finally found redemption, conquering the star-studded Red Dragon Prestige Super High Roller to lock up the biggest payday of his career.
