Andrei Kalgin won the Season 24 Championship for $154,170 at WPT Prime Cambodia 2026. The series featured record fields, multiple bounty events, and several WPT Prime seats awarded across the festival at NagaWorld.
Andrei Kalgin secured the Season 24 WPT Prime Cambodia Championship after a short final day that concluded in under seven hours. The $1,100 buy-in main event drew 1,095 entries, creating a $1,062,150 prize pool. Only 15 players returned for the final day.
Kalgin defeated Joshua Figuerres heads-up to claim $154,170. Figuerres finished second for $103,000, marking his largest live tournament score to date. The victory also awarded Kalgin a $10,400 seat to the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.
The championship followed a strong local legacy, with Figuerres narrowly missing the chance to replicate fellow Filipino David Erquiaga’s Season 20 WPT Prime Cambodia title run at NagaWorld Integrated Resort.
