Thus, the result in the WSOP Main Event earned a prize of US$ 2.25 million. The good phase continued with a good placement in the PokerStars Open Barcelona. Sixth place in the tournament won by Jason Wheeler guaranteed a prize of € 148,610 to the bankroll. This result represents the second largest prize of Feng’s career so far.
However, the American has not forgotten the traumatic elimination at the WSOP. On that occasion, he lost AA to a 99. Now, however, he treats the episode with good humor and even found an unusual culprit. The reporter responsible for covering the series, Jeff Platt. The professional’s reputation is to bring bad luck to players.
Thus, in an interview with “PokerNews,” the American recalled that he gave an interview to Jeff Platt shortly before Day 2 of the WSOP. According to the player, the conversation may have changed his luck in the competition. “I definitely caught the Jeff Platt curse 100%”, he joked.

Bad Beat did not change Han Feng’s attitude
Additionally, Feng does not show resentment for the bad beat. After all, he recognizes that losing with aces is part of the game. “You simply lose with aces to nines 20% of the time, so it doesn’t bother me”, explained the player who also drew attention for the outfit he wore on Day 1 of the final table.
However, still in the same interview, he stated that he maintains a very cautious attitude with the money earned. Even after the US$ 2.25 million at the WSOP and the € 148,610 in Barcelona, Feng does not intend to change his financial management style. He said the earnings are invested in Bitcoin.
Finally, Han Feng has already accumulated US$ 4,428,421 in live circuit winnings. The numbers are presented by the site “The Hendon Mob”. The player’s resume is not very extensive, showing only prizes since 2021, with the result in the WSOP Main Event being an outlier capable of changing any career.
