There was unfinished business for, Seungmook Jung in Taipei, Taiwan after his runner-up finish in the PS Championship Super High Roller (8-Handed) earlier in the festival. On the final day of PS Championship Taipei 2026 at CTP Asia Poker Arena , the South Korean player got another shot at a major title, and this time he made sure the story ended differently.

Seungmook Jung Wins PS Championship Taipei Main Event

Known as Big Brother 7high, Jung defeated Ting Chieh Chi heads-up to win the PS Championship Taipei 2026 Main Event, collecting NTD 2,555,888 (~USD 81,790) for the biggest result of his festival. The NTD 33,000 buy-in event drew 574 entries, creating a NTD 16,365,888 (~USD 516,550) prize pool, with Jung taking the biggest piece of the money and adding the one Players Series title that had been missing from his collection.

Jung came into the festival with two PSC Super High Roller titles and a PSC High Roller title already on his resume, so another runner-up finish earlier in the series could have been a frustrating way to leave Taiwan. Instead, he turned that disappointment into motivation, navigating his way through the Main Event field and eventually finding himself among the final 10 players on the festival’s final day.

Chi Leads the Final 10

PS Championship Taipei Main Event Final Table

The final day began with Chi holding the chip lead, while Jung behind, putting the two players at lead as the last 10 returned to the felt. With several side events still running around the venue, the Main Event was the biggest title still being decided, and both players were in prime position to make a run at it.

Manwoo Park was the first player to fall, finishing tenth and officially forming the nine-handed final table. The eliminations then began to come more quickly, with Ho Yin Lam, the last woman remaining in the tournament, under immediate pressure with only three big blinds; she eventually got her short stack in against Jung but couldn’t find the double-up, finishing ninth.

Felix Kohl followed in eighth after getting king-jack all in against Chi’s pocket kings, with the stronger hand holding through the board. Chi then added another knockout when Hyunjin Lee was eliminated in seventh, allowing the early chip leader to maintain control as the field was reduced to six.

Jung Begins to Close the Gap

The momentum gradually shifted as the tournament moved deeper into the final table, with Anton Lu losing a flip against Jung to finish sixth before Jung eliminated Yuan Yang Shen in fifth while holding the dominating hand. Those pots gave Jung the chips he needed to move closer to Chi, who had controlled much of the early final-table action.

Four-handed play saw Hsueh Yi Chen eliminated in fourth place by Sung Sik Eum, leaving Chi, Jung, and Eum to fight for the final two spots. Chi still held the advantage three-handed, but Jung continued to apply pressure and eventually moved back into the lead before eliminating Eum in third place, setting up the heads-up battle everyone had been waiting for.

Three Hands Decide the Title

Jung entered heads-up with roughly a 2-to-1 chip lead over Chi, putting him in a strong position to finish what he had started. Considering the two players had spent much of the final day near the top of the counts, another long battle seemed possible, but the championship was decided almost immediately.

Just three hands into heads-up, Chi moved all in with ace-ten, only to find Jung holding ace-king. Chi needed help from the board to survive, but none came, and Jung’s ace-king held to eliminate Chi in second place and secure the Main Event title.

Jung Gets the Title He Came Looking For

Jung earned NTD 2,555,888 (~USD 80,670) for the victory, pushing his total live tournament earnings beyond USD 2.5 million, while his Players Series earnings also crossed the USD 300,000 mark. Those numbers add another milestone to an already strong career, but the significance of this particular win goes beyond the payout.

After coming so close earlier in the festival, Jung finally had the finish he wanted – and he got it on the final day of PS Championship Taipei 2026.
