KC Wong Takes Down the Warm-Up Event
While the Main Event is in the beginning stages it is good to look back at what already went down here during the APPT Seoul festival. Two days ago the poker action started with the KRW700,000 ($640) Warm-Up that drew a crowd of 106 players, creating a prize pool of KRW 64.7 million.
Former EPT London winner David Vamplew made the final table and finished 8th for KRW 2.9 million and in the end of was KC Wong who beat Arnaudyvon Messager heads up. Wong took home 17.1 million KRW ($15.650) for his first-place finish and he jumped into the Main Event right away today. After his Warm-Up victory Wong now sits fifth on the current standings of the Asia Player of the Year race.
The KRW 1.1 million Pot Limit Omaha tournament took place yesterday and had 37 total entries. Late last night it was Japan's Yukihiro Yasuda who took down the event for 14.3 million KRW ($13,140) and we will keep you posted on the results of all the upcoming side events as well.
