The PS National Cup officially crowns its champion after a grueling battle. 🇰🇷 Lee Hocheol emerges victorious from a massive field to claim the title, the trophy, and the lion’s share of the prize pool in one of the most anticipated events of the series.
The tournament is a resounding success, drawing a total of 400 entries across three qualifying flights. This strong turnout generates a significant total prize pool of TWD 3,417,600, which is distributed among the top 61 players managing to navigate their way into the money.
The Final Battle
The final table is a showcase of international talent, but the South Korean player stays composed under the spotlight. In the end, Lee Hocheol defeats 🇹🇼 Polun Chao in a high-stakes heads-up match to secure the victory.
Lee Hocheol takes home a massive TWD 606,600 for the first-place finish, while Polun Chao earns a respectable TWD 399,000 for the runner-up performance. 🇭🇰 Hung Wai Sze from Hong Kong rounds out the podium, finishing in third place for TWD 275,000.
