Day 7 - Champions

Graeme Gordon

At every GOP festival, the brand brings together content creators for a fun day of poker at the Influencer Conquest. This time, the lineup was almost entirely Japanese, with Canada's Graeme Clarke Gordon joining the mix. But it was Gordon who had the last say, outlasting the field to claim his first GOP trophy and a seat to the Main Event.

The victory added another highlight to Gordon's festival run. He currently holds one of the top scores at the Player of the Series race, though with only two qualifying cashes so far, he still needs one more to meet the minimum requirement to be eligible to compete.

Ryoma Yamamoto

Ryoma Yamamoto was back in familiar territory at GOP Incheon II. Having been a recognizable face at the previous Incheon stop, the Japanese player binked his career third GOP title and second GOP Spartan trophy at the Event #50: Single Day High Roller.

Kozo Yamada

Kozo Yamada has joined the multi-winners club after picking up his second trophy of the festival at Event #55 Hyper Turbo – High Roller. Yamada topped the 20-entry field in the KR₩990,000 buy-in event, walking away with KR₩ 7,560,000 from the KR₩ 17,280,000 prize pool.

Player of the Series Update

Player of the Series Crown

At the GOP Player of the Series race, Rokuro Ichihara has taken over the top spot with five cashes giving him an overwhelming lead. Joichi Fukui dropped to second position and Jinichi Kubo is ranked third.

Graeme Gordon still needs one cash to slide into the standings and be in contention for the title. He currently has points high enough to be in the top three.
