Poker Dream 17 Malaysia In Full Swing; Halfway Highlights

Asia's premier poker brand, Poker Dream, is back in Malaysia for its 17th edition, and true to form, it has been wall to wall action from the very first day. Currently in full swing since April 10 and running until April 21 at Genting Highlands just outside of Kuala Lumpur, the event has already generated large turnouts and record prize pools, all gearing up for the big one. While Malaysians certainly dominate in numbers, international attendance from Singapore, India, and China are also well represented.

Poker Dream 17 Malaysia - Halfway Highlights

With Poker Dream 17 Malaysia now six days in, several key events have already wrapped up with Lee Duhan and Tianhao Zheng each scoring victories worth over US$ 60,000. At the side events, Dong Li, has already claimed two titles, and fan-favorite Mystery Bounty Turbo events have consistently pulled in well over 100 entries each,  with the third one drawing 257 entries. We have all those highlights down below.

On April 15, the flagship tournament, Main Event, kicked off with a juicy MYR 5 million (~US$ 1.1 million) in tow. Based on past results, that figure is expected to be easily breached. But how high it will go will only determined after the 13 flights have completed. As always, the Main Event offers three different buy-ins MYR 2,400, MYR 3,200, MYR 4,800. The last flights run April 19.
