South Korean Kwonhwan Mun Leads the Pack in Flight C of APT Manila Classic 2025 Main Event

Level 10: 700 / 1,400 ante: 1,400
Flight C Chip Leader Kwonhwan Mun

Flight C of the PHP60,000 APT Manila Classic 2025 Main Event is officially in the books after ten intense levels of play. The flight drew 266 entries (218 unique), with 119 players securing their spot in Day 2. Kwonhwan Mun from South Korea bagged an impressive 288,200 chips, making him the current chip leader.


With Flight D ongoing and late registration open until the start of Day 2, the total number of entries—including qualifiers—has already reached 956 and is expected to climb even higher.


Joining Mun at the top are three former APT Main Event champions: Henrik Tollefsen (202,200), Mike Takayama (173,600), and Moses Saquing (157,900). Takayama made waves when he entered late into the tournament yet managed to amass a massive chip stack in just two hands. With his vast experience, he and the other champions are strong contenders to claim yet another APT Lion Trophy.

Kunal Patni

Kunal Patni, fresh off his Mystery Bounty victory over the weekend, also secured his Day 2 spot with 184,000 chips. Other notable players moving forward include John Costiniano (80,600), William Teoh (67,300), Richard Marquez (64,900), and John Matsuda (48,800).


With one final flight to go, all eyes are on Flight D to see who else will join the field on Day 2 of the Main Event.

On a flop of K 9 Q , three players checked, leaving the action to Tetsuya Tsujisaka in the cutoff, who fired a 2,000 bet. Hao Huang, on the button, folded, while Oliver Serrie, in the small blind, made the call. Tanawat U-Snit, in the big blind, decided to let his hand go.

Hua Han

A flop of Q 2 6 had hit the baize with around 5,000 chips in the middle. Raphael Bulaong checked from the big blind to Hua Han in the hijack, who fired 1,500. Bulaong called.


The 4 fell on the turn, where Bulaong checked to Han again, who sent 3,000, which her opponent put in a raise to 7,700. Han then put a blue pile and re-raised 40,000. However, this didn’t deter Bulaong from calling off his remaining 20,600 chips.


Raphael Bulaong: Q 4


Hua Han: Q 9


Bulaong had taken the lead with a turned two pair and looked likely to scoop the huge pot. However, the river 9 improved Han to a superior two pair, sending Bulaong to the rail.

Flashback: Daniel Lee's Thrilling Victory at the 2024 APT Manila Main Event

Level 3: 200 / 300 ante: 300
Daniel Lee

A the APT Manila Classic 2025 Main Event heats up, let’s take a look back at one of the most unforgettable performances in APT Manila history.


The 2024 APT Manila Main Event shattered records with 1,081 entries, making it the largest APT Main Event ever held in the Philippines. The tournament also featured the biggest guarantee in Philippines' poker history — a massive PHP 100,000,000 (~$1.7 million) prize pool.


Emerging victorious was Daniel Lee from the United States, who claimed the PHP 15,060,000 (~$256,020) first-place prize after an incredible final table comeback. Lee started the day as the chip leader, but at one point, found himself down to just eight big blinds before mounting a stunning comeback. He ultimately defeated South Africa's Edgar Antezana in a heads-up battle after the two agreed to adjust the payouts.

Daniel Lee sweats the final hand with Edgar Antezana

"It feels so surreal," Lee said in his post-match interview. The former San Francisco-based software engineer, who left his job to pursue poker full-time, admitted he got a little lucky, but his determination and strategic play ultimately led him to victory.


"I love the game, I have a deep passion for it. This deep run makes it all worth it!" Lee shared, reflecting on his rapid rise in poker after less than a year as a full-time player.

The final table saw its fair share of dramatic moments, with Lee fighting his way back from near elimination. Ferdinand Lu, John Costiniano, and Edgar Antezana all had their moments, but in the end, it was Lee’s resilience and strategic execution that secured the title.


With APT Manila 2025 now in full swing, will we see another historic Main Event this year? Stay tuned as we bring you all the action live!
