Petr Rudnev Leads Red Dragon Plus Championship Final Table; Guoliang Wei Wins Mini Main Event
Day 10 of the Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT) Plus Jeju Summer 2026 festival at the LES A Casino saw the Red Dragon Plus Championship whittle down its 53 returning players to a final table of nine, led by newcomer Petr Rudnev. Meanwhile, two-time WSOP bracelet winner Guoliang Wei captured another trophy by winning the Red Dragon Plus Mini Main Event, the WePoker Dragon Egg Mystery Bounty successfully wrapped up its first flight, and the floor prepared for the start of the two-day Prestige Super High Roller.
Championship Final Table Set
The Red Dragon Plus Championship drew a total of 597 entries, clearing the original guarantee to build a final KRW 2,063,232,000 (~USD 1,395,460) prize pool. After a day of eliminations, the field was cut down to the final nine players who will return to battle for the KRW 387,132,000 (~USD 261,835) top prize.
First-time RDPT competitor Russia's Petr Rudnev bags the chip lead heading into the final table with a stack of 9,100,000 (73 big blinds), putting him in position for a career-best score. Chasing close behind is Vietnam's Trong Hieu Ngo with 8,350,000 (67 big blinds), a player who already holds an APPT Championship title.
The remaining final table lineup features Aichun Li, the only female player left in the field, who bags 3,725,000 (30 big blinds) after knocking out multiple opponents throughout the day. Also in contention is Dicky Siu Hang Tsang, a player with over USD 1.36 million in live earnings who already won The Dragon Awakening earlier in the series.
The final table resumes today at 12:00 PM local time. The structure will shift from timed levels to 25 hands per level, with the action broadcast live on official RDPT social media channels.
