Daisuke Ogita won a record-breaking APT Taipei Main Event as the festival concluded in thrilling fashion.
The first Asian Poker Tour festival of 2024 is in the history books, with multiple records being set in what was the biggest and richest poker event ever held in Taiwan.
The festival’s high roller SuperStar Challenge was the first of these to raise the bar, with French poker superstar Bertrand ‘Elky” Grospellier topping a field of 137 players to win the $25,000 buy-in event and take home the $367,770 prize - the biggest first place prize ever awarded in a live poker tournament in Taiwan.
That record did not stand for long, however, with the APT Main Event shattering the first place prize total as well as setting a new record for the biggest tournament prize pool in Taiwan.
The Main Event had 1,182 entries (including 737 unique players), generating a $2.2million prize pool, by far the largest ever seen for a single poker tournament in Taiwan. Several APT records were also broken during the series, including event records for first prize and prize pool in the Super High Roller event.
The APT Taipei main event was won by Japanese poker player Daisuke Ogita, who claimed a lifetime best score of $409,730 after defeating Guo Zhang Xi from Taiwan heads-up.
Acknowledging his good run of fortune at key times on the final table, Ogita remarked afterwards: “I’m worried my plane might crash after winning this award winning trophy, as I used up so much luck!”
While luck may have played a factor in Ogita’s victory, it was certainly no fluke, as he was already the 13th most successful Japanese poker player in terms of live tournament prize money; and this score has seen him break into the Japanese top ten. He now has lifetime live poker earnings of just under $2m and is certainly a player to watch for the rest of 2024.
