The PS Championship High Roller ignites the floor at PS Championship II, drawing 77 entries and building a formidable TWD 4,390,900 prize pool. Twelve players secure payouts of at least TWD 119,000, but it is 🇹🇼 Wang Chih Yuan who captures the spotlight — and TWD 1,388,900 — after prevailing over 🇰🇷 Lim Yohwan in the final duel.
Day 1 sees 47 entries take their seats, with 23 advancing. A further 30 late registrations swell the field to 77, leaving 53 contenders battling on Day 2 for a place among the paid positions. The bubble bursts after seven levels when 🇬🇧 Li Jun is outdrawn by Lim, who flops trip twos to seal the elimination and send the remaining players into the money.
Final Table Fireworks
The final table forms shortly after, with 🇹🇼 Chih Yuan Wang entering as chip leader, holding nearly double the stack of his nearest challenger, 🇦🇺 Jayden Zalac.
The first departure is 🇭🇺 Patrik Demus, whose short stack cannot find traction and runs into Lim’s stronger holding to exit in ninth. 🇰🇷 Seung Hyuk Jung follows in eighth after 🇰🇷 Kim Ki Young flops a set to dispatch him. 🇬🇧 Ryan Plant soon bows out in seventh, unable to improve against Lim once again.
🇩🇪 Martin Sedlak battles through several coin flips but ultimately falls in sixth, first crippled by 🇨🇦 Darren Lee before being finished by Lim. Lee himself exits in fifth after losing a flip to Wang, who flops two pair to close the door. Lim continues his knockout streak by eliminating Zalac in fourth, keeping his title hopes alive.
Three-handed play concludes when Kim Ki Young’s mistimed aggression runs into Wang’s superior holding, ending his run in third place and setting up the final showdown.
A Decisive Duel
Heads-up play begins with stacks close, but momentum shifts rapidly when premium hands collide. 🇰🇷 Lim Yohwan four-bet shoves, and 🇹🇼 Wang Chih Yuan calls, holding pocket jacks to cover. The board runs clean, the jacks stand firm, and Wang secures the victory as Lim collects TWD 830,000 as runner-up.
From chip leader at the final table to champion under the bright lights, Wang Chih Yuan delivers a composed and commanding performance to claim one of the most prestigious titles of the series.
