PACE OF PLAY:
- Players are required to make decisions within a reasonable timeframe.
- Players who are found to intentionally abuse time, deliberately stall, or purposely slow down the game’s progression will be subjected to a 5-second shot clock for all subsequent decision-making.

Winner
🇰🇷 Lim Yohwan
TWD66,300
Lim Yohwan Triumphs in Win The Button on Opening Day!
The Win The Button has officially wrapped up, drawing 44 entries and delivering an exciting start to the festival.
Rising above the field is 🇰🇷 Lim Yohwan, famously known as BoxeR, who navigates the unique format with confidence to secure TWD 66,300 and one of the first PS trophies of the series.
A former e-sports icon turned poker professional, BoxeR once again demonstrates that his competitive instincts translate seamlessly to the felt. The Win The Button structure—where the winner of each hand claims control of the button for the next—demands both calculated aggression and sharp positional awareness. BoxeR capitalizes on this dynamic throughout the event, dictating the tempo and applying pressure at key moments to close out the victory.
With momentum on his side early in the festival, Lim Yohwan sets the tone for what promises to be an action-packed series ahead.
