Meanwhile, the PLO Championship also wrapped up after 88 entrants battled it out over two days of play, with Malaysian Kok Wei Teoh rising above the field to secure the title and the pewter lion trophy.

APT blogger Kai Cocklin also spoke with **Jennifer Cassell**, one of the most recognisable Australian regulars on the Asian Poker Tour and a consistently strong performer across the region.

With women making headlines throughout the series — from Ruiko Mamiya’s National Cup Championship victory to Sofia Lövgren’s dominant run in the Mystery Bounty Championship, Cassell shared her thoughts on whether gender plays a role at the tables. “I mean, I don’t know if it matters all that much, the way that I see it anyway,” she said. “But when you’re actually at the table playing versus specific people, it can definitely help you in some parts where maybe they don’t know what you’re capable of. They underestimate you for sure.”

Cassell also praised APT’s continued efforts to support women in poker across Asia, adding: “Yeah, I think APT are doing an amazing job at that, and it shows because there’s nearly a hundred runners in these Ladies events that are happening every single day. It’s really cool how much support in Asia and APT there is for women in poker.”

The side events also got underway early, with Event #55: Turbo – High Roller kicking off the action.

Later in the day, Event #57: Dealer’s Choice Masters wrapped up with Australia’s Jarryd Godena taking it down.
