Main Event Women's Results

All four players achieved prize money results from a field of 451 participants, with Shao Qi even making it all the way to the bubble at the final table.

With less than two months of experience, Xiao Xi finished 19th in her first competition.

Besides the nine-player Final Table, another focus of the official report was Xiao Xi, who was participating in a major international poker tournament for the first time.

Having been involved in international poker for less than two months, she made it all the way to Day 2 in the Main Event, which had nearly 500 entries, and ultimately achieved:

19th place

This was also her first time participating in such a large-scale live tournament.

Xiao Xi expressed her satisfaction with achieving 19th place in her first competition. She noted that only four female contestants advanced to the second round, making her a very high-ranking result among the female participants.

Starting with poker games in bars, he stepped onto the DBPT stage two months later.

Xiao Xi first came into contact with international poker because her friend often played cards abroad, and after returning to China, she brought her friends to experience it together.

Initially, she participated in low-cost, relaxed card games at bars.

What truly prompted her to start studying poker was later entering a game where the overall skill level of the players was much higher.

After experiencing a period of losses there, she gradually realized that international poker is not just about having an Ace, but involves more ranges, positions, betting, and opponent decisions.

She then began to study on her own and participated in her first major tournament less than two months later.

Day 1 lasted until 4 AM, with 271,000 chips advancing to the next round.

For Xiao Xi, participating in a large-scale event for the first time, the biggest feeling she had about the pace of the event was the drain on her physical strength and concentration.

Day 1 continued until around 4 a.m., while Day 2 resumed at 1 p.m.

She ultimately concluded:

271,000 Scoreboard

After completing the first day's sealing, you will have a relatively healthy scoreboard when entering the second round.

Day 2 started with blinds of 3,000/6,000. Her chip stack fluctuated between 100,000, 200,000, and 500,000 before falling back down.

This dramatic fluctuation also made her truly feel the pressure of the later stages of a major tournament for the first time.

Holding AA before the bubble burst, I went all in and was successfully defended by AQ after they called.

When asked about the most memorable hand of the entire tournament, Xiao Xi mentioned her last hand before advancing on Day 1.

At that time, the entire competition was just one player away from making it into the prize pool.

Xiao Xi received:

AA

She chose to go all-in on the scoreboard.

It was initially thought that it would be difficult to get calls during the bubble phase, but an opponent eventually called all-in with AQ.

In the end, AA successfully maintained his lead, and Xiao Xi not only won the pot but also qualified for Day 2 and the prize pool.

For a newcomer participating in a major tournament for the first time, this hand became one of the most memorable moments of her entire DBPT journey.

With a final QJ against 33, Xiao Xi finished in 19th place and was eliminated.

Xiao Xi finished in 19th place in the main tournament.

Before being eliminated, she was already in a short streak position, and after getting QJ in the SB position, she went all in.

BB position opposite hand:

33

Complete the call.

The community cards didn't help QJ take the lead, and Xiao Xi ultimately lost this pre-flop showdown, officially ending his first major tournament journey.

Although he failed to advance to the Final Table, finishing 19th out of 451 participants provided a valuable first-time tournament experience for a player with less than two months of experience.

"If you have a card, just play": Xiao Xi's approach to the competition was based on a novice's mindset.

Looking back on the competition, Xiao Xi believes that her relatively relaxed mindset actually helped her cope with her first major event.

She also talked about the uncertainty of poker: even if you get AA, it doesn't mean you can definitely win; even if you only have 24 in your starting hand, you still have a chance to win.

For her, the fact that the outcome is not entirely predictable and that every hand requires a new decision is precisely what makes poker so appealing.

She revealed that she is likely to continue participating in the DBPT S5 next month, and her goal for the next time is to improve upon her 19th place finish this time.

S2 champion Bo Chao makes it to the Final Four again, Zhao Jianbo continues his strong performance from Day 1B.

The nine-player final table also includes several players who have previously achieved results in the DBPT.

Bo Chao, who won the DBPT S2 Main Event, not only made it to the Final Table again this year, but also personally eliminated Shao Qi in the bubble tournament. He is currently ranked fourth with 2,885,000 chips.

Zhao Jianbo continued his strong performance from Day 1B.

He became the chip leader with 1,298,000 chips in Day 1B and successfully made it to the final nine in the second round, currently holding 1,680,000 chips.

Yu Yuetian also achieved a strong finish in the later stages of the DBPT Main Event. The final table will be a battle for the championship between several familiar faces from the series and newcomers.

Zhou Yuanzhi leads the final 9, the DBPT S4 champion is about to be revealed.

From 451 participants to 48 advancing to Day 2, and then down to the final 9, the 2026 DBPT City Intellectual Competition S4 main tournament has officially entered the championship final stage.

Zhou Yuanzhi currently leads with 3,745,000 chips, followed closely by Zhang Xiaoming with 3,180,000. Zhang Peng and S2 champion Bo Chao are also close to 3 million chips.

Bai Mengchen has the shortest code at 735,000, but all nine players still have a chance to compete for the championship.

With Shao Qi finishing in 10th place in the bubble match against JJ at AQs, the final lineup for the finals has been determined. The DBPT S4 main event will then determine the new champion from among these nine players.
