WPT Cambodia Day 5: International Stars Shine at NagaWorld

The WPT Cambodia festival at NagaWorld Integrated Resort reached its fifth day of high-stakes action on January 25, 2026. The day was marked by the crowning of multiple side event champions and the finalisation of the field for the Survivor finale.

Qi Li Dominates Championship Warm-Up

The Championship Warm-Up at NagaWorld served as a massive opening attraction, easily shattering its USD 150,000 guarantee. The event drew 472 entries across three starting flights, creating a final prize pool of USD 247,234.

Qi Li (China) entered the final day as the chip leader and maintained his dominance throughout a fast-paced final table. In the decisive heads-up match against fellow countryman Yonghong Si, Li turned the tables in a major pre-flop flip, holding ace-ten against Si's pocket fives. The flop gave Li two pair, and he ultimately secured the victory and USD 54,772.

In addition to the top prize, Li earned a USD 1,100 seat to the WPT Prime Cambodia Championship. Prior to this win, Li's recorded live earnings sat at approximately USD 12,035, making this his most significant career cash to date.
