Bohong Yu Wins RDPT Main Event For A Career High KR₩ 337,200,000 (~$245,676)

Level 32: 150,000 / 300,000 ante: 300,000

Bohong Yu - Red Dragon Championship Winner

The 886 entry RDPT Jeju II 2025 Championship with a colossal KR₩ 2 Billion (~$1,451,326) prize pool concludes and has two recreational players on top, banking life changing scores after a lopsided heads-up that only lasted for eight hands. The entirety of the final table was barely longer than the bubble last night with less than four hours and saw Bohong Yu crowned as the new champion on hand #62.

After winning his first trophy, the Champion's Jacket and a massive first prize of almost a quarter million US dollars he said:

It feels very good and exciting! I feel very happy now, but it doesn't have a special meaning to me. I fantasized about how it would feel to win the Main Event, but after winning the event I feel different.

This concludes one of the shortest, if not the shortest, Main Event Final 9 in Red Dragon history after the longest bubble on record last night with seven players banking career high cashes along the way today. Congrats to all the winners and we hope to see everyone again for the next Red Dragon Poker Tour Event here at the Landing Casino inside the Jeju Shinhwa World Resort in November.

The Final 9 Will Take Their Seats Around 12:00 Noon

Level 29: 75,000 / 150,000 ante: 150,000

The Red Dragon Poker Tour Jeju II 2025 concludes today, July 13, at the Landing Casino inside the luxurious Jeju Shinhwa World Resort with the Final 9 of the KR₩ 2.5 Million (~$1,815) Red Dragon Championship taking center stage. The event missed breaking the colossal KR₩ 2 Billion (~$1,451,326) guaranteed prize pool by just three entries after attracting a total of 886 players over the five opening flights.

After Day 2 ended early with players dropping like flies once the money was reached - which led the organizers to play down to a player cap instead of the planned 10 levels - Day 3 was the complete opposite. A more than three hour long bubble with countless walks, players stalling for the full amount every hand - it got so bad that the floor announced a three hand penalty for any player trying to check the action at the other table - and every all-in going to the short stacks. The saga concluded when Tao Li min-opened T♠ 9♣ before calling Wenhao Ying's 7BB shove with A♦ 6♣ and the board ran J♣ 8♥ 7♥ 7♣ 3♣ .

Bohong Yu

China's Bohong Yu bagged the lead with 5,550,000 (37 BB) after a roller coaster ride towards the end of a day that he started in the bottom quarter of the field with only 335,000 (17 BB). His first break came right after the cards were in the air, busting fellow short stack Jun Li with A♥ K♦ against Li's 7♠ 7♦ . Away from our eyes on the feature table, he chipped up consistently adding more chips on almost every table update we posted even becoming chip leader at one point. Then the bubble started and his roller coaster ride began. He tussled a lot with Tao Li - one of the most aggressive players left in the field - and was down to 15BB right after the last level started. He turned it around on a three-way flop 5♦ 7♥ J♥ with J♠ 8♠ where he jammed into a lead from Tao Li who called with 9♠ 7♠ and the poker gods were kind with the board blanking 3♥ and T♣ . We had a chat with him right after the day ended:

Congrats on bagging the lead on Day 3! How do you feel?

I feel very good. After long hours of playing I can finally get a rest.

What was the plan going into Day 3? You were at the bottom with 17BB when the day started.

To be honest I don't have any plans going into Day 3 I just played normally.

Tell us some key hands that got you to the top?

I don't remember any key hands that got me on top. I'm just lucky.

You already have the biggest cash of your career secured, what's the plan for the Final Table?

Just enjoy the game.

How did you hear about the RDPT? It's your first time here, right?

This is my first time here at the RDPT and my friends called me to come and play.

How and when did you get into poker?

I started playing live 5 years ago.

Is it just a hobby, or do you have bigger aspirations?

Yeah this is my hobby.

Yuefeng Pan

He is closely followed by Peng Zhou with 5,225,000 (35 BB), Yuefeng Pan - the most accomplished player left in the field with almost $1M in live earnings and a main event title this year already - with 5,150,000 (34 BB) and his Day 3 nemesis Tao Li who also has 5,150,000 (34 BB) and will sit to his immediate left on the final table.

All of them have at least KR₩ 26,000,000 (~$18,943) secured - already the biggest career cash for more than half of the players left in the field - and the possibility of a life changing KR₩ 337,200,000 (~$245,493) for the top spot.

The Final 9 will take their seats around 12:00 noon after the opening ceremony and the SMP Live Updates are going to provide full coverage until a new champion is crowned.
