PS Super High Roller Final Table Set — Hsu Kai-Cheng Leads the Way
The stage is set in the PS Super High Roller Open, with the final nine players locking up seats at the Final Table and a TWD 1,063,800 top prize awaiting the eventual winner.

Holding a commanding advantage is 🇹🇼 Kai Cheng Hsu, who storms into the Final Table with a massive 5,120,000-chip stack—nearly double that of his closest challenger, 🇰🇷 Km Dohyeok, who carries 2,715,000.
Field Swells as Prize Pool Surges
Day 2 resumes with 24 survivors from the original 53-entry Day 1 field, but the numbers quickly swell. An additional 26 entries join through late registration, pushing the total field to 79 and sending the prize pool soaring to TWD 3,412,800, comfortably clearing the guarantee.
Bubble Drama Sparks Hsu’s Charge
Hsu’s rise stands out as one of the defining stories of the day. Beginning the session with a below-average stack, everything shifts just before the bubble in a pivotal flush-over-flush confrontation against 🇰🇷 Kim Hyun Sup. The double-up sparks Hsu’s surge, as he strings together pot after pot, applies relentless pressure, and powers his way to the top of the leaderboard.
For Kim, that same clash proves costly. Unable to recover, he slips down the counts and ultimately becomes the bubble, forced all-in with just three big blinds as the money locks in and the Final Table is confirmed.
All attention now turns to the Final Day, where stack depth, momentum, and composure will determine who captures the PS Super High Roller Open crown.
