Winner
🇬🇧 Ryan Plant
TWD1,450,700
Ryan Plant Crowned Trip of Poker High Roller Cup Champion
Day 2 of the ‘Trip of Poker’ High Roller Cup has wrapped, and it is 🇬🇧 Ryan Plant who stands alone at the end of a dramatic finale. The event attracts 44 entries, building a massive TWD 3,991,700 prize pool—more than double the advertised guarantee.
Day 1 produces 34 entries with 16 players advancing. Ten more competitors jump in before cards go in the air on Day 2, pushing the field to 26 chasing just seven paid spots. Awaiting the winner: TWD 1,450,700.
Bubble Drama & Final Table Fireworks
It takes nearly five hours before the final nine assemble under the lights of the live stream. With two eliminations needed before payouts begin, tension fills the room.
🇪🇸 Guillem Segarra falls first in 9th place, his pocket kings cracked by 🇦🇺 Yita Choong’s ace-six suited when an ace pairs on the flop.
Moments later, heartbreak strikes. Start-of-day chip leader 🇰🇷 Seungmook Jung runs pocket jacks into 🇭🇰 Dicky Tsang’s kings, exiting as the stone bubble.
Once the money line is crossed, exits come quickly.
🇹🇼 Chih Yuan Wang becomes the first player to cash, finishing 7th.
🇭🇰 Alan Lau King Lun follows in 6th after failing to improve against 🇬🇧 Ryan Plant.
🇦🇺 Yita Choong bows out in 5th when his big blind defense runs into a dominating hand from 🇭🇰 Dicky Tsang.
🇺🇸 Peter Kiem departs in 4th after a brutal river denies him a crucial double-up.
Three-Handed Rollercoaster
Three-handed action between 🇬🇧 Ryan Plant, 🇭🇰 Ian Kit Ung, and 🇭🇰 Dicky Tsang delivers pure volatility. The chip lead changes hands repeatedly, and Tsang continues to apply pressure. However, a failed call against Plant ends Tsang’s run in 3rd place, leaving Plant and Ung to battle for the crown.
Heads-Up Showdown
Plant enters the final duel holding a commanding 4-to-1 chip advantage over 🇭🇰 Ian Kit Ung. Ung, who earlier battles back from just eight big blinds, attempts one last push. Within a handful of hands, he moves all-in and is quickly called by Plant holding a premium holding. The board runs clean.
The chips are pushed. The tournament is over.
Ung collects TWD 880,000 for his runner-up finish.
A Comeback for the Ages
What makes this victory remarkable is the journey. 🇬🇧 Ryan Plant was eliminated on Day 1. He returns via late registration on Day 2 and completes one of the most memorable comebacks of the festival.
He walks away with TWD 1,450,700 and the Trip of Poker High Roller Cup trophy after an unforgettable run.
Congratulations to all finalists for delivering a high-stakes spectacle worthy of the stage.
