The recently completed Korea Poker Cup in Jeju had many big winners, but none more so than Christian Harder, who took down multiple events, and nearly won a third.
The series ran April 6-13 inside the Landing Casino within the luxurious Jeju Shinhwa World. Chon Lung Wong, as we reported earlier this week, took down the KRW 1,240,000 ($850) buy-in Main Event for $141,255, beating out 1,228 entrants.
Harder, who has $6 million in live tournament cashes, according to The Hendon Mob, finished 91st in the Main Event. But it was far from his most impressive performance during the series.
Harder Takes Down Two (and Almost Three)
Harder won a pair of tournaments during the week-long series in South Korea. The first win came in Event #7: KRW 5,000,000 High Roller (approximately $3,500). He faced a field of 95 players, none of whom were a match for the American poker star.
The champion won $80,250 in a chop agreement with runner-up Yuhang Chen, who received $83,650. Kuan Han Lee finished in third place for $44,305. Joseph Cheong, a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner and third place finisher in the 2010 WSOP Main Event, was the only other American at the final table. Cheong was paid $22,715 for fifth place.
Event #7 Final Table Results
Harder didn’t stop there. He closed out the series by winning Event #25: KRW 1,000,000 Mega Stack Closer for $22,235. He beat Po Sen Weng heads-up for the title. The runner-up from Taiwan received $14,785. Five of the nine players at the final table are from China. The prize pool of $92,145 included 150 entrants, 21 of which were paid.
The two-event champ wasn’t the only big winner in Jeju, however. The player who earned the largest payday was actually Meng Ling Lin, champion of the $25,000 Single-Day Super High Roller. She received $479,300 for beating out 70 crushers in what was an action-packed day of poker.
Harder’s largest payday of the series came in this event as he finished runner-up for $320,000. He was the star of the series by a wide margin. The Super High Roller featured some of the best poker pros in the world and some big names finished in the money, including Paul Phua (fifth place for $112,000) and Wiktor Malinowski (ninth place for $50,000).

Betso88 legit or not, that’s the question! Been burned before, so gotta do my research. Anyone got the inside scoop on betso88legitornot? Is it the real deal or a scam?
