Kunal Patni left with the black-and-gold Main Event title, while Martijn Gerrits locked up another Player of the Series win after another long run through side events. That gave the Cambodia stop a clean finish and gave GOP another result it can carry into the next Asian festival.<\/p>\n<p>Patni took down the Main Event for his first live career main event title. The event drew 289 entries, paid out from a $500,000 prize pool, and ended with Patni collecting $109,540. In his post-win interview, Patni summed it up in one word: \u201cYES!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Runner-up Miyoung Cho picked up $66,980 after another deep finish. Feng Yang placed third for $45,515, followed by Rohit with $33,135 and Murata Haruto with $25,330. The rest of the final-table payouts went to Peng Sen Wu, Wei Yan, Alen Bakovic, and Ngoc Khanh Le.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

Fresh off a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/poker-news\/gods-of-poker-taipei-2026-recap-structure-variety-and-atmosphere\/\">GOP Taipei POS win<\/a><\/strong>, the Dutchman cashed 16 times in Phnom Penh and collected 6 trophies, enough to close with 25,637 points. Gerrits now owns 11 GOP trophies and two POS crowns. Jun Yan Kok finished second in the race, with Alfie Adam taking third.<\/p>\n<p>The Phnom Penh stop also produced more headline winners near the end of the schedule. Daniel Neilson won the GOP High Roller and grabbed the silver gauntlet plus $14,400, again denying Miyoung Cho after her Main Event runner-up finish. In the Kraken Stack, Patrik Selin came through after an ICM deal heads-up and took the trophy with $10,090, while Wah Yan Chow earned $9,073.<\/p>\n<p>Gods of Poker framed the wider 2026 season around its Cronus Structure, a format the brand says is built to reward skill, patience, and deeper play rather than late-reg chaos. Phnom Penh was listed as one of the new stops on that 2026 map, and Incheon is next. Paradise City will host GOP Incheon from May 15 to 24, with 83 events scheduled and a $700,000 guaranteed Main Event.
