The flagship event of the festival, the Red Dragon Plus Championship, attracted an impressive field of 597 entries to LES A Casino. Due to the overwhelming interest, the original guarantee of 1.8 billion KRW was easily surpassed, with the final prize pool reaching 2,063,232,000 KRW (approximately 1.39 million dollars).
The final day kicked off at a brisk pace. Khanh Duy Ta made an immediate impact with a successful big bluff on the river against then-leader Petr Rudnev, instantly changing the table dynamics. Ta went on a spree of eliminations, knocking out six opponents at the final table, including the last woman standing, Aichun Li (5th place).
In the concluding heads-up, Ta faced China's Haidi Feng. Despite entering the duel with a 3:1 lead, Feng doubled up immediately, leveling the playing field. The players then agreed on an ICM deal, leaving 40,000,000 KRW and the trophy still up for grabs.
Khanh Duy Ta ultimately confirmed his dominant form, clinching his monumental victory in the final hand with a pair of sixes against Feng's J-T.
