Daeyoung Park - 2nd Place
After several hands without even a flop, Daeyoung Park raised the button to 2,000,000 and Yu Jui Chen three-bet to 4,800,000. Park four-bet jammed and Chen snap-called for 29,375,000 to be the player at risk this time. Both stacks were verified before the showdown proceeded.
Yu Jui Chen: K ♦️ K ♣️
Daeyoung Park: A ♣️ 2 ♥️
No dreadful ace came on the Q ♠️ 9 ♣️ 5 ♦️ 10 ♦️ 2 ♣️ and Chen doubled into a commanding lead.
One hand later, Park was all-in blind for the remaining two big blinds while in the big blind.
Daeyoung Park: 8 ♦️ 5 ♦️
Yu Jui Chen: J ♠️ 8 ♣️
Chen flopped the nut straight on 10 ♥️ 9 ♦️ 7 ♣️ and avoided a chop on the K ♠️ turn as well as A ♣️ river runout to seal the victory after hand number 179 on the final table.
According to the deal agreement of the final three players, runner-up Park takes home a consolation prize of NT$ 2,209,000 ($69,539) while Chen earns his very first trophy. The victory on home soil is sweetened with a payday of NT$ 2,761,600 ($86,935) and the quite unique Gods of Poker Main Event gauntlet trophy.
