Dylan Wayne Foster Leads Day 2 of APT Main Event – Flight A/C

Level 15: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

During Day 2 of the TWD 50,000 APT Main Event, it was confirmed that the event has entered the history books as the biggest and richest international event in Taiwan! The Main Event drew 1,991 entries, which in-turn generated a record-breaking prize pool of TWD 86,011,200 (~USD 2,709,014), with a top prize of TWD 14,413,200 (~USD 453,959). With this, 295 players are locked up for a guaranteed payday. Thank you for the amazing support.

A the combined survivors from Flights A and C (less three double qualifiers whose shortest stacks were removed from play) were joined by a further 65 Day 2 late entries and these 414 players duked it out over five 60-minute levels.

Only 164 players made the cut for Day 3. Here is a recap of what happened today in Day 2 of the Main Event:

Dylan Wayne Foster

Australia’s Dylan Wayne Foster accumulated 575,000 chips and currently sits on the top of the chip leaderboard. Prior to the event, Foster has only ever managed second place in an APT event, winning over $75,000 in APT Summer Series Hanoi, Vietnam 2023.

The second-biggest stack of 562,000 belongs to Macau’s Sio Fat Lau who started in 25th place at the beginning of today and managed to hoard over 300,000 chips to climb up on the board.

Cheng Yen Lo

Taiwan’s Cheng Yen Lo (554,000) lost his opportunity to be the chip leader as Lo went too far on a hand with Tomoki Terashima (518,500). Lo folded his hand, losing the pot with no help received from the deck.

Other notables to make it through are Shixiang Khoo (419,000), Jacob Ikuma (373,500), Lester Edoc (358,000), Daniel John Neilson (266,000), Yohwan “BoxeR” Lim (224,500), and Henry Kilbane (83,000).

The top ten stacks can be found below.

Transferred with Only One Big Blind Left

Level 15: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

We reached the table with Zhi Iang Png in early position initiating action with an all-in to be solely called by cut-off player Kenny Shih. It was a classic K♠ K♥ versus Q♣ Q♦ showdown between Png and Shih, who held the latter hole cards.

The winner was obvious with a board of 5♦ 9♦ T♣ 8♠ 3♦ . While the dealer was pushing the chips to Png who had doubled up, Shih was talking to his seatmate in the vernacular showing his one big blind stack when he suddenly wailed and said, "Please, no....". We turn around to see the tournament director had arrived with trays breaking the table up.

Hoang 8♦ 8♥

Lam Q♠ Q♥

Lam, looking for a triple up was feeling happy being ahead of every one when the dealer dealt a flop of 6♥ 4♠ 7♣ . Hoang was hopeful as he got an open-ended straight draw on the flop. The 8♣ turn gave Hoang a huge smile and was anxiously waiting for the river to scoop his tripled up stack.

The 5♣ river showed a straight on the board ending the hand with a three-way chop. The dealer told the players to get their own chips back as Iijima looked relieved he didn't lose any chips in the hand.

With less than 20 big blinds Stephen Song at under-the-gun +1 was waiting for Hiu Ying Lai to act when she opened for 3,200. With the raise, Song jammed his chips into the pot and only the initial raiser called after some time.

Song: A♣ Q♦ Lai: A♥ J♠

The board showed K♠ 9♠ T♦ 7♠ 9♣ giving Song the much needed chips to last longer in the day.

Chui Out

Level 11: 800 / 1,600 ante: 1,600

Sang Woo Chun got one caller in big blind Yuen Shan Chui, when he initiated action with a raise of 3,600 from middle position pre-flop. Checked to Chun, he shot another 4,500 on the flop of 5♣ 7♣ 5♥ to be called once again by Chui.

The same pattern happened on the Turn of 3♥ but this time Chun fired 12,000 which got an all-in reaction from Chui. Chun called to show A♥ 7♥ against Chui's 5♠ 4♥ for a two-pair. Sadly, the river Q♥ gave Chun a flush eliminating Chui.

Fu's Big Slick Stands

Level 11: 800 / 1,600 ante: 1,600

With around 11,500 chips in the pot, the flop ran out T♦ 9♥ 2♣ which Sheng-Kuang Fu bet 3,500 from middle position, and only Curtis Lim on the button and Ho Cheung Yeung from the big blind stuck around.

A 2♠ fell on the turn, and Yeung folded before Fu bet 13,000, and Lim made the call to see the 8♦ river which both players checked through and Fu tabled K♠ Q♣ and Lim quickly mucked his hand.

APT Main Event - Day 2 A/C

Good morning from Taipei, Taiwan!

Regarding Typhoon Krathon, at this time there are no adjustments to our Wednesday, October 2nd, tournament schedule. Please watch comms for both APT and CTP as this is a developing situation and any adjustments will be announced here first.

Today sees the survivors from Flight A and C play out Day 2 of TWD 50,000 APT Main Event at 11:00 am local time with the clock set as 60 minutes throughout the five-level play and starting at 800/1,600 with a big blind ante.

There were 363 stacks brought into Day 2 from a total of 830 entries, and players who are qualified twice, meaning their shortest stack will be removed from play.

Another Day 2 play for Flight B/D gets underway on the same day at 5:30 pm, meaning we can expect the total prize pool and payout information today.

Japan's Keigo Kubo, who ended the opening flight with a total of 420,600 chips, is leading the board with Nicholas Go (398,600), Yuya Arito (335,400), Ee How Ong (313,200) chasing after closely. Former two-time APT Main Event champion Philippines' Lester Edoc (188,000), and APT Summer Series Da Nang Main Event Champion Shixiang Khoo (48,500) are also in pursuit.
