Single Day High Roller

Jinlong Hu wins Single Day High Roller

31singledayhighroller31 1
Jinlong Hu (L) Haitao Luan (R)

After delivering the bubble, China’s Jinlong Hu bulldozed through the ITM round, eliminating side event champions Christopher Mateo (4th) and Lester Edoc (3rd) to face Luan Haitao at heads up. Both players quickly agreed on an ICM deal, guaranteeing Jinlong the bigger pay for his dominating stack. The finalists then agreed to flip for the trophy but with a twist. Haitao had to win the first two to take it. Jinlong won the first flip to claim the PS spade.
