Held at the NagaWorld Integrated Resort in Phnom Penh, the event\u2019s prize pool reached an impressive $2,432,760, well above the $1 million initial guarantee. After a three-way deal, Konstantin Held from Germany took home the championship title and a handsome $361,310 in winnings.<\/p>\n<p>This victory marks a milestone in Held\u2019s poker career. Before this, his biggest prize was $261,080 from a sixth-place finish at the 2023 European Poker Tour in Paris. His total earnings in tournaments are now over $763,000.<\/p>\n<p>The final stages of the championship involved a\u00a0 deal among the top three players, the eventual winner Konstantin Held, and two familiar faces in the Asian Poker scene, Florent Remi and Josh McCully, reshaping the prize distribution but leaving the championship title, trophy, and a $10,400 seat at the season-ending WPT World Championship in Las Vegas for the taking. In the end, Held faced Joshua McCully in a head-to-head battle for top honours.<\/p>\n<p>Held shared his joy with WPT reporters, saying, \u201cOver the moon. Honestly, over the moon.\u201d He talked about the excitement of facing a friend in the final and praised the NagaWorld venue and the overall experience in Cambodia.<\/p>\n<p>The tournament ensured payouts for the top 95 players, with the last five taking home six-figure amounts. Entering the final day as the chip leader, Held extended his lead by eliminating Jianfeng Sun (7th \u2013 $69,678) and Kyle Bao Diep (6th \u2013 $90,532).<\/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\/betus\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png\" 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\/betus\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BetUS<\/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><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
