Taiwan’s Teng Kuei Hsu & Tsu Lin Tsao Crush Event #21: NL Hold'em - Teams Event

First introduced at the recent APT Taipei 2024, the KRW 600,000 Event #21: NL Hold'em - Teams Event is quickly becoming a popular addition to the schedule, with the tournament drawing 40 two-player teams (80 players in total) and generating a KRW 33,524,000 (~USD 24,320) prize pool.
