The Asian Poker Tour Championship (APTC) 2026 continues at Red Space with Flight C, the third of five starting flights in the TWD 16,000 buy-in event. Cards are in the air at 11:00 AM local time, and with 25-minute levels, Flight C offers a little more breathing room than last night's turbo.
So far the first two flights have drawn 820 entries. Flight A brought 602 (464 unique), with 84 players surviving, while 218 entries (181 unique) got involved in Flight B and 31 made it through. That's 115 players already locked into Sunday's Final Day with a TWD 20,000,000 guarantee on the line.
Players start with 40,000 in chips, and can jump into this flight until approximately 3:40 PM ahead of Level 11. As with the previous flights, the field will play down to the top 14%, with every survivor securing a min-cash and a seat on the Final Day.
Australia's Troy Mclean currently holds the lead after bagging 1,261,000 in Flight B, just ahead of Flight A leader Konosuke Nakajima (1,234,000). Jun Wei Yan is the only other player to have bagged a seven-figure stack so far.
