The main character of the main event championship cup was given to CHEN BO CHIUAN in Taiwan.
"The tournament, which was held as an event competition in seven fields, served as an opportunity to increase the international competitiveness of domestic tournaments with the participation of global poker players from various countries," an organizing committee official said.
He added, "As there were many inquiries from content planners from around the world about providing tournament relay content during the competition, we plan to expand contents for the competition in the future," adding, "To that end, we will take the lead in globalizing 'K-Mind Sports'."
On the other hand, Sports Holdam, which plays with 52 cards, is one of the representative mind sports.
