Andrew Han of Australia won the KPC Main Event at the Jeju Poker Festival, according to PokerTube. He beat American Yifu He heads-up at LES A Casino on November 1 and collected KRW 150,000,000 (about $111,770).
The Melbourne-based pro outlasted a 747-entry field. The final day ran for 12 hours. The report calls it the biggest score of his career.
Germany's Fabian Gumz held the overnight chip lead into the final eight. He led again once the table was down to three, but he finished third for KRW 68,000,000. Countryman Martin Sedlak went out in fifth for KRW 34,000,000.
Han and He started heads-up with almost equal stacks and traded the lead for close to two hours. The deciding hand came on hand 282. He moved all in with king-ten, and Han called with king-eight. An eight on the flop paired Han, and the board ran out clean.
He won KRW 102,500,000 for second.
