Rokas Asipauskas Dominates Final Coronation at KPC Poker, Takes Home $300,800

WSOP bracelet holder Rokas Asipauskas emerged as the champion of the final event at the KPC Poker October Series. Asipauskas conquered Singaporean Dingxiang Ong in a lightning-fast heads-up, earning the royal crown and a prize of $300,800.

The $30K Final Coronation event attracted an intimate field of 25 entries. This led to a prize pool surging to $702,000, with cash rewards reserved exclusively for the top four players.

Following the elimination of fellow countryman Paulius Plausinaitis in 3rd place, Asipauskas entered the decisive heads-up against Dingxiang Ong with a commanding lead, boasting an 8:1 chip advantage. The heads-up was a swift affair, lasting just one hand. Ong went all-in with A d T d and Asipauskas called with K d 8 d. The board 8 s 9 c 6 c 5 s 2 d gave the Lithuanian a pair and sealed his victory.

"When I saw that crown, I told myself I wanted it, and I really wanted it badly," the exhilarated champion Asipauskas declared after the tournament. This victory concluded a phenomenal Lithuanian double, with his compatriot Marius Kudzmanas having claimed the $15K King's Main Event for $533,800 just 24 hours earlier.
