Andrei Kalgin won the 2026 WPT Prime Cambodia Championship at NagaWorld for $154,170. The festival featured record participation in the High Roller and victories by Qi Li, Yuequan Jia, and Pham Bao.

The Season 24 WPT Prime Cambodia Championship at NagaWorld Integrated Resort concluded with Andrei Kalgin securing the title.

Kalgin outlasted a massive field of 1,095 entries to claim the top prize of $154,170. This victory also includes a $10,400 seat for the season-ending WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.

The final day of the $1,100 buy-in event progressed rapidly.

Only 15 players returned for the final session to compete for the largest portion of the $1,062,150 prize pool. The action wrapped up in less than seven hours.

Joshua Figuerres finished in second place, earning $103,000. This result marks the best score of his live poker career.

Figuerres nearly matched the success of his fellow countryman David Erquiaga, who won a Prime title at this venue in Season 20.

Norberto Korn Claims Mystery Bounty High Roller Title

The $3,000 Mystery Bounty High Roller set a record with 67 entries. This participation generated a total prize pool of $178,723. The standard payouts accounted for $111,723, while $67,000 was set aside for bounty rewards.

Argentine player Norberto Korn secured the victory after a five-hour final day. A critical double up early in the session against Ankit Ahuja allowed Korn to take a lead he never relinquished.

While Korn won the trophy, Xiaosheng Zheng provided the most excitement. Zheng finished in fourth place for $10,350 but collected several bounty envelopes to bring his total earnings to $39,850.
