Related Topics: Chinese New Year

The inaugural WPT Global Spring Festival Main Event has crowned its worthy champion, and it is "yifors" who wrote their name into the history books by outlasting 204 opponents, and banking $23,476 of the $104,550 prize pool.

It took only 45 minutes of play on Day 2 for the money bubble to burst, with the unlucky 33rd-place finisher being the last player to go home empty-handed. There was a flurry of eliminations from the moment the bubble popped, each busted player taking home at least $721 for their efforts.

By the time "pollozayas" busted in ninth-place to set the final table, nobody would win less than $2,633.
