With heads-up play set to begin, Wang Shun Ping and Ji Young Junnegotiate terms to conclude the marathon battle. Following the agreement, Wang secures the trophy and locks up TWD 3,350,000.

Ji closes out a stellar run with a substantial TWD 3,050,000 payday, while Wang stands as the last player remaining from the 897-entry field, bringing the PS Championship Main Event to a dramatic finish.

The PS Championship Main Event has reached its final stage, and the last two contenders are now confirmed.

After three days of intense competition and a field that began with hundreds of hopefuls, Wang Shun Ping and Ji Young Jun remain standing as the final two players in the marquee event of the series.

Three-handed action heats up as Wang Shun Ping raises to 850,000 on the button and Lim Yohwan responds with a shove for 4,000,000 from the small blind. Wang wastes little time making the call, putting Lim’s tournament life at risk.

Wang Shun Ping: A♣ 5♥

Lim Yohwan: A♥ J♣

Lim initially holds the advantage with the stronger jack kicker, but the momentum shifts dramatically on the flop 3♥ 6♠ 5♣ as Wang pairs his five to take control. The 9♠ on the turn brings no help for Lim, who is left drawing to a jack to stay alive. The river 9♥ pairs the board, sealing Lim’s fate and ending his impressive run in 3rd place for TWD 1,820,000, while Wang advances to heads-up play with a commanding position.

The tension spikes four-handed as Kang Wongyu moves all in for 2,600,000 from under the gun. On the button, Wang Shun Ping makes the call, only for Ji Young Jun to reshove from the big blind for 4,950,000. Wang commits the rest, and a massive three-way pot is in play.

Kang Wongyu: Q♦ 5♥

Wang Shun Ping: K♠ 10♠

Ji Young Jun: A♥ A♣

At showdown, Ji tables pocket aces and firmly dominates the confrontation. The 5♦ 6♣ 7♥ flop keeps him in command, though it pairs Kang’s five to create some sweat. The 4♦ on the turn brings additional outs for both Kang and Wang.

The river reveals 7♦, sealing the outcome. Ji Young Jun scoops the monster pot, while Kang Wongyu’s run comes to an end in 4th place, dramatically reshaping the final table dynamic.

Kang Wongyu opens to 600,000 from the cutoff and finds a caller in Jang Hyunsick in the big blind.

Kang Wongyu: K♦ 10♣

Jang Hyunsick: 6♦ 5♦

The flop comes 4♥ 4♠ 5♠ and Jang wastes no time, moving all in for 525,000. Kang snap-calls to put his opponent at risk.

Jang initially takes the lead with a flopped pair of fives against Kang’s king-high. The 6♥ on the turn improves Jang further to two pair, putting him in strong position to double.

However, the K♠ on the river delivers heartbreak. A king pairs Kang’s hand, swinging the pot at the final moment and sending Jang Hyunsick to the rail in 5th place as Kang survives to continue his charge.

Kang Wongyu opens to 600,000 from the cutoff and faces an all-in shove of 2,550,000 from Seo Moon Ho on the button. Kang makes the call to put Seo at risk.

Seo Moon Ho: A♣ 7♦

Kang Wongyu: K♠ K♦

Seo connects with a pair of sevens on the Q♣ 7♠ J♠ flop, but Kang’s pocket kings remain firmly ahead. The 8♥ on the turn changes little, and the river bricks out 2♦, officially ending Seo’s run in 6th place for TWD 780,000.

With the elimination, Kang climbs into the chip lead at the final table, overtaking Wang Shun Ping as the momentum shifts once again in this final table.

Liew Kai-Sheng moves all in for 1,000,000 from the button and is quickly called by Seo Moon Ho in the big blind.

Liew Kai Sheng: Q♥ Q♦

Moon Ho: A♦ 3♦

The flop comes J♦ 8♦ K♥, giving Liew’s pocket queens the early advantage but providing Seo with a flush draw. The turn brings the A♣, swinging the lead to Seo with top pair and leaving Liew in need of help. The river 7♣ offers no salvation for Liew, ending his run in 7th place for TWD 600,000.

Cho Jae Geolmoves all in for 1,200,000 from the cutoff and is quickly called by Wang Shun Ping on the button.

Cho Jae Geol: K♦ 10♦

Wang Shun Ping: K♠ J♦

The flop comes 8♣ 2♦ A♦, keeping Cho ahead but giving Wang additional equity. The turn delivers the 10♠, pairing Wang’s ten and flipping the script. Cho is left searching for a jack or queen on the river, but the 7♠ seals his fate.

With that, Cho Jae Geol exits in 8th place for TWD 470,500.

The first casualty at the final table is confirmed as Kang Won Gyu moves all in on the button for 3,050,000 and is called by Andreas Blaskov, who puts his tournament life on the line.

Kang Wongyu: 10♠ 2♠

Andreas Blaskov: 7♦ 7♣

The flop comes K♦ 2♥ Q♦, pairing Kang’s deuce but keeping Blaskov in front. The 6♥ on the turn changes little, leaving Kang drawing to a ten or another deuce. The river delivers the dramatic 10♦, giving Kang two pair and ending Blaskov’s run in 9th place for TWD 380,000.

Front (L–R): Kang Won Gyu, Andreas Blaskov, Seo Moon Ho, Cho Jaegeol
