Kerstetter took home $21,934 after finishing sixth in the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/news\/lina-niu-wins-record-breaking-wpt-ladies-championship\">$1,100 WPT Ladies Championship<\/a><\/em>, while Yau emerged as the winner of the <em>$25,000 High Roller<\/em>, walking away with his biggest live cash so far worth $894,240.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about their goals for Dreamers: A New-Age Poker Documentary, Wheaton said they\u2019re not releasing it to make money or win awards. The team views the project as an investment in the poker community and the poker industry as a whole. <\/p>\n<p>Wheaton hopes that by releasing Dreamers, people, especially those who are new to poker,
