In an interview, Kuo said that it felt amazing to win a title in her own country. She further added, “I do not participate in several Asian events, especially in Taiwan, so this one is very special for me. I took a long break from playing live poker and now that I am back again, I have a fresh mindset, to begin with.” On the Main Event final table, Kuo went head-to-head with another female player, Chi Ying Tsai who also hails from Taiwan. Here’s a list of the top five players who got paid out from the APT Main Event:
There were a total of seven Taiwanese players on the final table of the APT Main Event. The only non-Taiwanese player on the final table was Kar Wee Chee who settled for 8th place in the Main Event. Talking about the Taiwanese poker players, Kuo said, “Taiwanese players study a lot, play several international events and hence the quality of their game is very good.” Among her plans, Kuo aims to play cash games and poker tournaments in the United States later this Spring.
