Quite an event with a nice prizepool for something happening in proximity of Asia/Korea. I mean I dunno why paying out hong kong dollars instead the american ones straight up but there is more things I really do not understand about asian poker.

This looks like a tremendous final table and very well done to Michael for outlasting such a stellar field. I always feel very jealous of these top players whenever they get to go to such beautiful places and play poker

Here in this final table is 4 players from Malaysia, although this tournament has taken place in Jeju, South Korea. A lot of money for they in this game and i think many Asians want more poker series in this part of the world. I watched a little poker yesterday at a final table and in simple hands players did not have the courage to make many bluff because the prizes were great.

Well, finally, the news that a poker tournament was won by some poker professional .... but recently, very often a message about people who win poker tournaments for the first time ..... there was a feeling that the professionals stopped playing

If you have that kind of money to invest i a game of poker of tyhis magnitude, then you can win a prize like that. And according to this player, his all time winning sre about five millions. So for sure he has money to spend, in order to buy in, in a game with 64k USD entry

Well 77 is a good pair to win. If you see the hands with what some players had been winning is really absurd: 45o, T4o, K4s, etc, etc. 77 is a decent hand. A lot of money for they in this game and i think many Asians want more poker series in this part of the world. In Asia you can swim with big whales and a lot of fishes. The board is very soft!

not to mention when you are playing with a couple of kk or qq and the other one is thrown with a pair of less than 5 and in a gap the letter comes out to get a leg gives you s**t to get to the house and s**t well with sticks hahaha but when a Russian does that, it kills me from the anger haha
