Chang Hwan Lee Leads Stacked Field Into APT High Roller Finale

Ryuta Nakai Enters Day 2 Third in Chips

The final day of the 2026 APT Incheon festival has arrived! Numerous champions have already been crowned, including the latest Main Event winner, Stephen Pang, who overcame a 1,393-entry field to claim the Gold Mega Lion trophy and KRW 411,180,000 (~USD 293,700) top prize as part of a three-way ICM deal.

A handful of events have yet to be completed, however, including the prestigious APT High Roller, which got underway yesterday. From a starting field of 222 entrants, just 51 players remain in contention for Day 2.

Leading the way is Japan's Chang Hwan Lee, who bagged an impressive 1,211,000 chips at the end of Day 1. China's Yuan Lei is hot on his heels with 1,183,000, while Ryuta Nakai of Japan will be looking for redemption after bubbling the Superstar Challenge and returns with a top-three stack worth 1,173,000.

JL Jun LiUnited Kingdom	665,000
KS Konstantin SolovevRussia	659,000

The top of the leaderboard is packed with a who's who of APT regulars. Martin Sedlak sits fifth with 885,000 and is looking to add a third APT title to his collection, while Ryan Plant is hunting his first Mega Lion after already collecting four APT Lion trophies.

Jun Li is also well positioned with 665,000 and will be hoping to go one better than his runner-up finish in this event last year. Meanwhile, Jeremy Chan returns with 608,000 and has a chance to win a second title of the series after winning the Super High Roller earlier in the series.

Further down the leaderboard, Ren Lin will return with 574,000 and has his sights set on completing an APT High Roller "Grand Slam" after winning the Super High Roller and Superstar Challenge at APT Jeju Classic. Australia's Josh McCully is chasing the same feat and returns with 364,000.

By the time late registration was closed, the KRW 5,000,000 buy-in event generated a KRW 959,040,000 (~USD 685,030) prize pool that nearly doubled the KRW 500,000,000 guarantee. With 31 players set to make the money, the surviving field will return today with their eyes firmly fixed on the KRW 199,870,000 top prize and a seat into the APTC Main Event in November (valued at ~USD 10,000).

APT High Roller Payouts

Just 20 eliminations are all that separate the remaining field from a guaranteed payday, so it won't take long for the money bubble to burst. Play resumes at 11:15 a.m. local time on Level 17 with blinds of 6,000/12,000 and a 12,000 big blind ante. Levels will continue to last 40 minutes each and the plan is to play down to a winner.

Who will claim the final APT Mega Lion trophy of the series? To find out, be sure to follow along on our live reporting page until one player is left holding the Rose Gold Lion Trophy.
