Roman HrabecThe Asian Poker Tour (APT) Super High Roller Championship has crowned its champion here inside Red Space, Taipei, and it is Czech crusher Roman Hrabec who took the title after a dominant final table performance.
Hrabec closed out the tournament in style, defeating Thailand’s Alex Wice in a speedy heads-up match that lasted just six hands to secure the TWD 13,398,721 (~USD 429,450) top prize, the coveted Rose Gold APT Lion Championship Trophy, and a USD 10,000 seat into the APTC Main Event.
This marks a fitting conclusion to a record-breaking event that drew 81 entries (56 unique) and generated a massive TWD 59,519,521 (~USD 1,907,680) prize pool, making it the richest non-Main Event tournament in APT history. The finale lived up to the billing as one of the festival’s most talked about events, with a world-class lineup featuring some of the best online crushers, and multiple poker hall of famers.
Hrabec navigated the elite field with confidence throughout the tournament and brought that same composure to the final day. Six players returned with Hrabec as the chip leader and he never took his foot off the gas, outlasting the accomplished ending the dreams of fellow pros Danny Tang and Manuel Fritz along the way.

*Champion also wins an APTC Main Event Seat
When the final six took their seats and cards hit the baize, Hrabec picked up exactly where he left off the night before, raising at every chance and putting the middling stacks straight into ICM jail. A few players pushed back with three-bet jams and Hikaru Hishinuma even shoved an overpair after facing a check-raise, but none of it fazed him. Hrabec kept the pressure on and continued grinding down the table until he eventually made his own luck.
It did not take long for the first elimination of the day. Manuel Fritz returned with one of the shorter stacks and looked to have found the perfect spot when he correctly called off with king-high in the big blind after Hrabec jammed jack-nine from the small blind. Two nines on the flop sealed it, and Fritz was the first to head to the payout desk, collecting TWD 3,197,300 (~USD 102,480) for his efforts.
Manuel FritzWith five players left, Hrabec slipped back into the middle of the pack after losing a pot to Wice’s two pair and then being forced to fold pocket jacks to Hishinuma’s double-barrel bluff with a small pocket pair. But he didn’t stay down for long. Hrabec soon got his revenge when he turned a boat with pocket sixes to trump Hishinuma’s two queens. Unable to find a fold facing a river raise, Hishinuma was left with barely half a big blind.
On the very next hand, Hishinuma hit the rail with pocket sixes of her own after Hrabec turned a pair of tens to scoop the pot and knock her out in fifth place for TWD 4,322,200 (~USD 138,530). Tang had been pretty quiet for most of the final table, mostly because the deck was not giving him much to work with, but the seasoned pro showed he still had plenty of moves. He picked the perfect moment to fire off a well-timed river bluff-raise, getting Hrabec to fold pocket tens and giving himself a much-needed boost.
Hikaru HishinumaWice came into the day with the toughest seat in the room, stuck directly to the right of Hrabec while they sat one and two in chips. It did not take long for the Czech crusher to go after him. In a blind-versus-blind pot, Hrabec turned yet another full house and still got paid when Wice rivered a backdoor straight. That pot sent Hrabec soaring past fifty percent of the chips in play and gave him the freedom to run over the remaining three players.
After the break, Tang found some much-needed momentum. He won a flip to double through Hrabec, and just a few hands later his ace-six held against Hrabec’s jack-six to score another double, climbing back into contention with over ten big blinds. France’s Axel Hallay was the next to fall, bowing out just short of a podium finish when his pocket fours couldn’t win the race against Wice’s Big Slick. Hallay still walked away with TWD 5,920,900 (~USD 189,770), the third biggest result of his career.
Axel HallayThree handed, Hrabec kept the pressure on with Tang's stack in the danger zone, which forced Wice to play snug. One wrong move against the chip leader could cost him a fortune, so he had to play carefully while Hrabec continued to play aggressively
Tang’s short-stack survival finally paid off when he picked up Big Slick in the small blind after another button min-raise from Hrabec. Tang shoved, Hrabec called, and Tang was stunned to see Hrabec actually holding a real hand with pocket jacks. The board offered no help and Tang exited in third place for TWD 7,697,100 (~USD 246,700).
Danny TangHrabec entered heads-up play with a two-to-one chip lead and wasted no time extending it. He picked off a two street bluff from Wice with second pair, and once Wice surrendered on the river, Hrabec tightened his grip on the match. From there, it felt like only a matter of time before the trophy was heading his way.
Wice stole a few pots to stay afloat, but the end came fast. Six hands into heads-up, Hrabec opened, Wice three-bet, and a click four-bet from Hrabec tempted Wice to shove his last 43 big blinds with king-jack. Hrabec snapped with queens and rivered yet another boat to clinch the TWD 13,398,721 (~USD 429,450) top prize, the Rose Gold Lion Trophy, the APTC Main Event seat worth USD 10,000, and one of the most prestigious titles on the APT calendar.

Alex WiceHand #87: Roman Hrabec raised 325,000 on the button and Alex Wice three-bet out of the big blind to 1,200,000. With the action back on Hrabec, he burned through a few of his time banks before electing to four-bet it to 2,000,000. Wice, after giving it it some thought of his own, five-bet ripped it for 6,900,000. Hrabec snap-called and the players went to showdown.
Alex Wice: Kâ™ Jâ™
Roman Hrabec: Q♠Q♥
Hrabec had the chance to win the tournament if his pocket queens could stay ahead of Wice's king-jack through the runout.
An incredibly favorable flop came down for Hrabec in the form of 3♠6♦ Q♦, giving him top set and leaving Wice needing running cards to win.
An A♣ hit the turn, which offered Wice with a straight draw, but it wasn't to be as the 3♣ only improved Hrabec to a boat.
Wice had to settle with a runner-up finish for TWD 10,361,500 (~USD 332,100), while Hrabec was crowned the champion of the APT Super High Roller Championship.

Manuel FritzHand#19: When it folded to Roman Hrabec in the small blind he jammed, putting Manuel Fritz all in out of the big blind. Fritz took one look at his cards, and then made the call for his stack of 760,000.
Manuel Fritz: K♣ 6♣
Roman Hrabec: J♣ 9♦
Fritz came in as the short stack and had got it in good to have the chance of doubling up in the first level of play.
However, the 9♣ 2♦ 9♥ flop was a disaster for Fritz as Hrabec flopped trips. The A♥ left him drawing dead as the K♦ river was just a necessity.
Hrabec won the pot, and Fritz was the first elimination of the day in sixth for TWD 3,197,300 (~USD 102,480).

UK's Danny Tang Still In The HuntThe final day of the Super High Roller Championship is upon us, here at Red Space 多元商務空間, Taipei.
The final six players will resume play at 11.30 am today and play down until there is just one man or woman standing.
A record-breaking 81 players took to the felt to battle it out for the APT’s richest non-Main Event tournament the tour has ever run, with the TWD 13,398,721 (~USD 429,450) top prize the largest the APT has ever awarded outside of a Main Event.
The winner of the event will take home not only the huge cash prize but also the Exclusive Rose Gold APT Lion Championship Trophy and an added USD 10K seat into the APTC Main Event.
Over two fierce days of play, the 81 entrants have now been whittled down to these final six:
| Player | Chips |
|---|---|
RH Roman Hrabec Czech Republic | 6,865,000 |
AC Alexander Chalermklao Wice Thailand | 5,330,000 |
HA | 2,690,000 |
DT Daniel Tang Hong Kong | 2,545,000 |
HH Hikaru Hishinuma Japan | 1,895,000 |
MF Manuel Fritz Austria | 900,000 |
The Czech Republic’s Roman Hrabec is top of the pile with 6,865,000 in chips and is already guaranteed to take his lifetime earnings across the USD 13,000,000 mark but will be looking to claim his first APT title in this prestigious Championship.
Hot on Hrabec’s heels with 5,330,000 chips is Thailand’s Alex Wice, who will be looking to better his second-place APT High Roller 8-Max finish at APT Taipei 2025 and push his lifetime earnings to over the USD 1,500,000 mark.
Alex WiceDon’t rule out WSOP Bracelet holder, the UK’s Danny Tang, who still has plenty of chips to play with on 2,545,000. Tang will be looking to crack the USD 35,000,000 lifetime earnings mark and add the APT Super High Roller Championship title to his plethora of other titles.
Opening final table chip leader Japan’s Hikaru Hishinuma took a hit early on but has proven that she is a force to be reckoned with. Sitting on 1,895,000 in chips, Hishinuma is not to be forgotten about. Hishinuma will be looking to make it a multiple title-winning festival after already taking down the Single Day High Roller Mystery Bounty here at APTC and push her lifetime earnings up to the USD 500,000 mark.
Play will resume today, Sunday, November 23, at 11.30 am with a live Stream on a 30-minute delay, which can be viewed by clicking HERE.
