After three days of action the 222 players in the $2,700 event in Seoul had been whittled down to a final table of eight. Lim was the player in charge thanks to successful coup against Team PokerStars Online pro Naoya Kihara just before the finale.
Indeed, after seeing the field drop to five, Lim then watched as the finale's two females, Sixiao Li and Xuan Liu, hit the rail in quick succession.
With just three players remaining the surviving trio decided to cut a deal.
After coming to an amicable agreement, Lim proceeded to oust Nicky Tao Jin in third place ($93,000), before dispatching with Chane Kampanatsanyakorn ($91,000) to claim his first APPT title and $110,000.

Interesting,....I've never actually seen that in a real live tourney,....only online a few times...
As for Chinese gamblers.... They OWN gambling,...after all,...they invented it millenia ago...
I would occassionally go and play Black Jack at a casino in Edmonton,... the place consistently had about 50% Asian patrons.
I remember one Asian guy in particular,...he was always there,...and dressed in the same shabby clothes,...but he would pull $100 bills out of his shirt pocket like confetti.
