APT Main Event (55,000 TWD)

So far there have been 517 registered entries for Flight A of the APT Taipei 2025 Main Event. 281 still have seats at the tables. The average stack is pegged at 73,600.

Some of the recent busts include Chun Yuan Chen, Ka Chuen Yip, Uhsang Anh, Jun Li, Chunlung Wong, Hao-Shan Huang, Yan Wen Yee, Fabian Rolli, Tsugunari Toma, Rui Lu, Toan Chan Truong, Jeong Yeol Yu and Ferdinand Lu.

Uhsang Ahn made it 2,100 to go from under the gun and Junseok Oh called from the hijack.

On a flop of J♦ K♦ Q♦ , Ahn checked over and Oh led out for 2,000. Ahn dropped in the call.

The two checked through the 8♦ turn to see a 6♥ fall on the river, where Ahn checked and Oh fired 4,500. It was enough to drag in the pot as Ahn released his cards.

117 seats have been filled so far in the first flight of the APT Taipei 2025 Main Event with more expected to follow while registration is still open.

It really is becoming an international spectacle with so many countries represented. We have the likes of Sergeev Aleksander from Russia, Tsz Chan from Hong Kong, Eugene Chen frmo Singapore, Nicolas Burgevin from France, Minh Dao from Vietnam, Killian Wolfgang Eisend from Germany, Kaito Hirai frmo Japan, Ran Ilani from Israel, Paul Hong from New Zealand, Ho Lam Ji from Malaysia, Gang Kapil from India, Wai Cheng Keong from Macau, Juhwan Kim from South Korea, Matthew Ledger from the UK, David Van Noy Jr. from the USA, ALbert Nguyen from Canada and of course the local Taiwanese also heavily represented.

We have yet to wait for the Australians and the Philippine contingent to make their presence felt.

But certainly, the Main Event is turning out to be an international affair as can be expected.

UTG player Uhsang Anh and Hsuang Chun Kao on the button were looking at a pot of 3,600 and a board that showed 6♦ 4♣ 3♦ A♦

Anh led out with a bet of 1,200 and Kao called to see a 6♠ river. Both players then checked.

Anh revealed Q♥ J♦ for queen high while Kao revealed K♦ Q♣ . A king-high scooped the pot for Kao.
