You Xuan Luo Headlines TMT20 Day 23 Winners
The Taiwan Millions Tournament (TMT20) is heading into its final weekend, but there is no sign of a quiet finish at the Asia Poker Arena .
Another 263 entries joined the Crown Main Event through Flight C, taking the field beyond 550 with three starting flights still to come.
Away from the Crown Main Event, Taiwan’s You Xuan Luo captured the TWD 150,000 Apex High Roller title, while the latest Player of the Series standings were released with the festival entering its final weekend.
You Xuan Luo Lands Apex High Roller Title

Luo secured one of the biggest remaining titles on the TMT20 schedule after coming out on top in the TWD 150,000 Apex High Roller .
The tournament brought together 17 entries and generated a TWD 2.3 million (~USD 71,201) prize pool, with only three players reaching the money.
Luo defeated fellow Taiwanese player Li Wei Wang heads-up to collect the trophy and TWD 1,134,800 (~USD 35,365) top prize.
Wang earned TWD 800,000 as the runner-up, while Kuan Lun Chen completed the all-Taiwan podium and collected TWD 350,000.

Crown Main Event Passes 550 Entries

After Flight C was introduced during the Day 22 action , it delivered the largest Crown Main Event field of the festival so far.
The flight attracted 263 entries, with 27 players surviving the day. South Korea’s Jihwan Oh finished on top with 623,000.
That took the overall field to 559 entries, with 57 players already through to Day 2.
Oh may have led the latest flight, but the two biggest stacks still belong to Taiwan. Day 1A leader Tseng Cheng holds the overall advantage with 763,000, closely followed by Day 1B leader An Li Lee on 758,000.
Day 1D takes place today, July 31. The final two opening flights follow on August 1 before all remaining players return for Day 2 on Sunday, August 2.
With a TWD 30 million guarantee and the busiest flights still to come, the Crown Main Event is only beginning to show its true size.
