Higor Seibel Eliminated in 11th Place for KRW 22,070,000 (~USD 16,600)

Level 27: 60,000 / 120,000 ante: 120,000

Higor Seibel

Shortly after taking a brutal tumble, getting his chips in good but being rivered by Yoshifumi Takahashi, Higor Seibel moved all in for 400,000 on the button and was called and covered by Scott Margereson in the small blind.

Higor Seibel: J♣ 8♣

Scott Margereson: A♦ 7♣

Seibel was looking for a jack or eight, but missed on the 6♠ 2♣ 6♦ 5♥ 9♣ runout with very little to sweat.

Takahashi Spikes the River; Seibel Left Short

Level 27: 60,000 / 120,000 ante: 120,000

Yoshifumi Takahashi

A recent hand saw another blind vs blind battle between Yoshifumi Takahashi and Higor Seibel.

Takahashi open-jammed from the small blind for 1,500,000 and Seibel had him covered with his 1,900,000 stack. Seibel called and the players went head to head in another flip.

Yoshifumi Takahashi: A♥ 4♣

Higor Seibel: A♦ K♥

This time Seibel had the clear advantage, and held it on the Q♣ 7♦ J♦ flop.

There was no change on the J♥ turn, but the 4♠ river was enough for Takahashi to take down the pot and double his stack, leaving Seibel short.

Beltz Takes from He

Level 27: 60,000 / 120,000 ante: 120,000

Yaoyu He raised to 240,000 from the cutoff and big blind Wouter Beltz defended.

Both checked the 9♦ 7♦ J♣ flop. On the K♣ turn, He fired 400,000, and Beltz check-shoved, sending the cutoff into the tank.

He used a couple of time banks before deciding not to call, taking some serious damage to his stack.

"I might be able to win now," Beltz said, or words to that effect, after the hand.

Seibel Sweats the Chop

Level 27: 60,000 / 120,000 ante: 120,000

With the feature table having just five players, to the outer tables six, the blinds are coming back around fast.

With action folding to Yoshifumi Takahashi in the small blind, he moved all in for his remaining 1,600,000 which was good for just over 13 big blind.

Higor Seibel, who is sitting to Takahashi's left has just 1,400,000 remaining. He made the call from the big blind and the pair flipped their cards.

Higor Seibel: A♥ 7♥

Yoshifumi Takahashi: A♣ 7♣

The pair had the same hand, but with the K♦ 2♣ 9♣ flop coming club heavy, Takahashi had a chance of the steal.

A 6♠ turn and 2♥ river saw Seibel let out a smile, as the players did indeed - chop the pot.

Lucky Chop for Beltz

Level 27: 60,000 / 120,000 ante: 120,000

Wouter Beltz jammed from the small blind for just over 1.1 million, and after double-checking his cards, Chih Wei Fan called from the big blind:

Wouter Beltz: 6♣ 3♠

Chih Wei Fan: A♠ 6♦

Beltz was completely dominated and drawing to a three.

However, the dealer fanned the 8♣ J♣ T♣ flop, and as the only player holding a club, Beltz picked up far more equity and was in a great position to double.

The 9♥ turn put a straight draw on the board, and the 7♦ river completed it, resulting in a chopped pot.

"You should be grateful to chop after that flop," someone said to Fan after the hand.

Level 26: 50,000 / 100,000 ante: 100,000

Vinay B

Scott Margereson opened to 200,000 from the cutoff and Vinay B three-bet jammed for his entire 2,000,000 chip stack. Action folded back to Margereson who made the call and put Vinay B at risk of elimination.

Vinay B: A♣ Q♣

Scott Margereson: T♦ T♣

The A♥ Q♦ J♦ flop was good for Vinay B, soaring him into the lead with two pair.

It was quickly taken away after seeing the T♠ turn, which brought in the set for Margereson.

The 8♦ river secured his elimination, and he took home a 12th place payout for KRW 19,290,000 (~USD 14,500).

Kunal Patni opened from the hijack before snap-calling Yaoyu He's shove for 660,000 from the cutoff:

Yaoyu He: A♠ 5♥

Kunal Patni: A♦ K♠

Patni looked set to score the knockout, but the five on the 7♠ 6♣ 5♠ flop flipped the hand on its head.

No king came on the J♣ 2♣ runout, and He's pair of fives held to award him the double.

Meng Dian Peng

Meng Dian Peng was down to just seven big blinds (720,000) and moved all in from the cutoff. Martin Sedlak re-jammed on the button covering his stack and there was no other takers.

Meng Dian Peng: A♦ 6♦

Martin Sedlak: A♠ K♥

The 7♦ 9♣ 5♥ flop brough Peng some outs with the straight draw, but the Q♥ turn and 7♥ river didn't complete it for Peng, leaving Sedlak to take the pot with his ace-king kickers.

Vinay B: A♣ T♣

Vinay found the card he needed on the A♥ 9♦ 4♠ flop and held on through the 8♠ 3♦ runout to score the full double through the Japanese player.

Level 26: 50,000 / 100,000 ante: 100,000

Kei Okuda

The hand after passing half his stack to his neighbour Martin Sedlak, Kei Okuda open-jammed on the button for 875,000. Sedlak confirmed the count with the dealer before re-jamming for his newly built 1,900,000 stack in the small blind.

The pair went head to head again in another flip, this time with Okuda at risk.

Kei Okuda: Q♥ T♠

Martin Sedlak: K♣ J♣

Both connected with the A♥ Q♦ 8♥ flop, but it was Sedlak who held the lead.

A 5♣ turn didn't help Okuda and he was eliminated from the main event in 14th place as the dealer peeled the T♥ river, which improved Sedlak even further.

Kei Okuda moved all in from the small blind for their remaining 1,800,000 and Martin Sedlak called, putting his 925,000 at risk from the big blind.

Martin Sedlak: T♦ T♣

Kei Okuda: A♣ 8♣

With Sedlak stood from the table, a fellow player asked him "Feeling lucky?"... Sedlak replied, "Today I feel lucky, yeah!"

The dealer placed the 6♠ 2♣ 8♠ flop, which saw Okuda pick up to a pair of eights, but the 2♠ turn and 7♦ runout was safe for Sedlak, and he re-took his seat at the table.

Kyosuke Nagami

Jiaxian Pan raised to 215,000 from the hijack before big blind Kyosuke Nagami three-bet jammed for 940,000. Pan took a couple of moments before putting in the call:

Kyosuke Nagami: 5♠ 5♥

Jiaxian Pan: K♠ Q♦

Nagami stayed ahead on the 4♠ 9♣ J♦ flop, though Pan picked up some extra outs in the form of a gutshot.

He didn't need it, though, as the Q♥ turn gave him the superior pair, and the Japanese player's elimination was sealed when the 4♦ river completed the board.

Higor Seibel got his last 1,095,000 in from the cutoff, and big blind Meng Dian Peng called with a marginally covering stack:

Higor Seibel: J♠ J♥

Meng Dian Peng: K♣ Q♠

Seibel couldn't have asked for a better flop when the J♣ window card came, and the full flop of J♣ T♣ J♦ gave him quads, sending the table into a frenzy.

The dealer then peeled the A♣ turn, giving Peng Broadway and a royal flush draw, and Seibel looked a little worried.

Fortunately for the Brazilian, the 8♣ river gave Peng a flush, but not the royal, and it was no match for Seibel's quads.

Peng proceeded to double a few times through the next few hands and chipped up to around 800,000.

With just one player remaining until the final two tables were reached, Nagami was needed to find some help from the board.

There was some hope as the dealer fanned the 3♥ 4♠ K♣ flop, and Nagami's pair of three's were enough to lock him up the pot on the 6♥ turn and 5♠ river.

Big blind Tarun Guwalani then four-bet to 680,000, prompting a fold from Fan, and Patni jammed his covering stack. Guwalani took a little time before calling for his tournament life:

Tarun Guwalani: J♥ J♦

Kunal Patni: K♦ 9♦

Patni didn't find the picture, or even the texture, he needed on the Q♠ 2♠ 6♠ flop, with Guwalani's jacks still well ahead.

The K♠ turn, however, was exactly what Patni needed, leaving Guwalani trailing.

The T♣ completed the board, and Patni scored the knockout to add a huge boost to his stack.

When the cards were flipped, Nagami was ahead with middle pair, but Beltz had flopped the gutshot straight draw and the backdoor flush draw.

Hijack Hongsheng Zhang open-jammed for 720,000 and cutoff Calvin Lau moved all in behind for 560,000. No one else got involved and the two players showed down:

Calvin Lau: A♣ A♥

Hongsheng Zhang: A♠ 7♦

Lau looked set for a double, with Zhang needing a miracle to avoid losing the bulk of his stack.

The dealer fanned the Q♣ K♣ J♦ flop, and while it wasn't a miracle, it did offer Zhang some chop outs, as Chih Wei Fan pointed out after the 5♦ turn.

"Ten would be..." Fan said, before Lau shushed him.

In what must have felt like a smite from above for Lau, the T♦ landed on the river to give both players Broadway and chop the pot.

Punjarojanakul Saved by the Flop

Level 23: 25,000 / 50,000 ante: 50,000

Tanupat Punjarojanakul

Tanupat Punjarojanakul was down to his last 250,000 and moved all in from under the gun. Mou Yue, who was sitting to his direct left, re-jammed for 815,000. The rest of the table folded, leaving the pair to go heads up to showdown.

Tanupat Punjarojanakul: A♦ 2♠

Mou Yue: A♥ J♥

Once the cards were flipped, Yue had Punjarojanakul by the ropes. But he flopped a pair on the K♠ 2♠ 6♣ board.

A 3♣ turn and T♥ river saw Punjarojanakul safely double, keeping his seat in the High Roller event.

Tanupat Punjarojanakul opened to 350,000 from the hijack and Yaoyu He three-bet to 650,000 in the small blind. Naohiro Matsuda was in the big blind and took some time before jamming for 2,200,000.

Action went back to Punjarojanakul who used one of his seven time banks, before mucking his K♣ T♣.

He snap mucked his 7♠ 7♣, leaving Matsuda to pick up 1million in chips pre-flop after being dealt Q♠ Q♦.

Sedlak Picks Off a Hefty Bluff

Level 23: 25,000 / 50,000 ante: 50,000

Martin Sedlak

Higor Seibel raised to 100,000 from the hijack and Martin Sedlak defended his big blind.

Sedlak check-raised Seibel's 60,000 continuation-bet to 150,000 on the 2♦ 4♥ K♣ flop, and the Brazilian player stuck around.

Both checked the A♥ turn to the 8♠ river, where Sedlak checked once more. Seibel fired a hefty 450,000, a sizeable portion of Sedlak's remaining stack.

The German player didn't take too long to call, and his K♥ J♣ was good against Seibel's Q♦ T♣ bluff, sending the huge pot his way.

Wouter Beltz

Shortly after taking a seat at the feature table, Wouter Beltz opened 9♠ 9♣ from the hijack to 100,000 and Mou Yue three-bet to 275,000 on the button with 3♠ 3♥. Action went to Yaoyu He in the big blind who needed some more time to consider his action, throwing in a time bank card.

He mucked his pocket tens, which was in fact the strongest hand at the time, leaving the two remaining players to continue to battle.

Beltz quickly moved all in for 2,100,000, covering Yue's last 590,000. Yue mucked her three's and Beltz stacked up to over 2,000,000 without needed to get to showdown.

Scott Margereson

Vinay B opened to 100,000 from under the gun before Higor Seibel three-bet to 250,000 from a couple of seats over.

Hijack Scott Margereson four-bet jammed for 495,000, and Quang Trinh Do cold-called to put himself at risk. Vinay called, Seibel folded, and the three players tabled their hands:

Scott Margereson: A♦ K♥

Quang Trinh Do: T♥ T♦

Vinay B: Q♦ Q♣

The king on the K♦ 8♦ 2♥ flop put the short stack in the lead, and the K♣ turn gave him trips, leaving him needing to avoid a ten or a queen to stay alive.

The 3♥ river bricked, and Margereson scooped the main pot for a huge triple up. Vinay took the side pot, and Do hit the rail.

Yuan Lei: J♠ J♦

Yaoyu He: A♥ A♣

With both holding pocket pairs, but Lei looking down at aces, Lei was going to need some luck to keep his seat.

A K♦ 3♦ 6♠ flop was no good for Lei and he had no way of recovering after the dealer placed the A♠ turn. He stood from his seat and left the tournament areas as the 4♦ came on the river.

Calvin Lau Ka Fai opened from early position for 80,000 and Steve Ng moved all in for 514,000 from the small blind. Action was then on Dillon Najor and he took some time, asking the dealer for a count of stacks, before moving all in for 1,600,000 from the big blind.

Fai folded his A♣ 9♣, and left the players to go heads up to showdown, with Ng at risk.

Steve Ng: K♥ K♣

Dillon Najor: A♠ Q♦

Ng needed to hold, but with the monotone 4♠ J♠ 9♠ flop, Ng already saw some trouble.

A 6♠ turn completed the flush for Najor and there was no way for Ng to come back on the 2♥ river.

Ng didn't go home empty handed, as he took home a 28th place payout worth KRW 9,840,000 (~USD 7,400).

The Japanese player, meanwhile, was well ahead with A♠ T♠ for a pair of tens and the nut flush draw. Nothing changed on the K♣ river, and Yue lost a little more of her stack.

When the cards were flipped Reden was ahead and said "Good-Luck" to his opponent, before the board was dealt.

On the stone bubble, all eyes were on the feature table as a short-stacked Kaifan Wang open-jammed his remaining 41,000 from under the gun, and Kei Okuda called from the hijack.

All the other hands were completed, and the two players showed their cards:

Kaifan Wang: Q♣ 8♣

Kei Okuda: 4♦ 4♠

The four on the 4♣ K♣ 6♥ flop gave Okuda a set, but it also gave Wang a flush draw, so he was by no means drawing dead.

The Q♥ turn paired Wang's queen, and the Q♦ river cruelly gave the short stack trips, but it was too little, too late, as it also filled Okuda up.

Wang was eliminated on the stone bubble, and the remaining 39 players are now in the money in the APT High Roller.

The 7♦ 3♦ 5♣ flop was nice for Okuda, and he check-called a 75,000 bet by Wang.

A 3♠ turn saw Okuda check, and Wang asked for 165,000 to stay in the hand, and Okuda called, with the J♥ river completing the board.

Both picked up a pair of jacks, and Okuda checked to Wang. Wang opted to jam for his last 412,000, covering Okuda by just 41,000, and Okuda snap-called.

It was Okuda's ace kicker that gave him the pot, and Wang was left with under two big blinds after the hand.

The 2♣ 3♣ 5♣ flop saw Matsuda flop plenty of outs with the wheel-draw and the club flush draw.

Mou Yue got a walk in the next hand.

Tanupat Punjarojanakul

Punjarojanakul then opened to 40,000 from the cutoff, before folding to button Yoshifumi Takahashi's shove for around 280,000.

The hand after, Yue raised to 40,000 from the button and big blind Do defended.

Do check-called Yue's 30,000 bet on the 7♦ K♥ 5♣ flop. Both checked the 9♦ turn and T♥ river, and Do turned over A♥ 8♣, only to be pipped by Yue's A♠ Q♠ queen kicker.

Level 19: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Higor Seibel

Higor Seibel opened K♣ 6♣ on the button and Francis Anderson three-bet in the small blind to 145,000 with Q♣ J♥.

Seibel threw in a time bank card pre-flop, before moving in his entire stack, covering Anderson's remaining 499,000.

Action went back to Anderson, who quickly pushed his hand into the muck. Seibel pulled in the pot, taking him over the 2,000,000 chip mark.

Level 18: 8,000 / 16,000 ante: 16,000

Michael Nam

Michael Nam started off the action but opening to 229,000 from early position and Teeraphat Rangkatekarn who just joined the feature table after loosing a player, called with J♥ T♥. Francis Anderson also defended from the big blind with 8♣ 6♣ and the players went three-ways to the flop.

The 9♠ 5♦ 4♣ was fanned and action checked to Rangkatekarn who bet 45,000.

Anderson mucked, and Nam took some time to think before moving all in for 229,000 with the flush draw and two overs. Rangkatekarn folded, leaving Nam to pick up the pot.

Mou Yue raised to 32,000 from the hijack before calling cutoff Daniel Neilson's three-bet to 80,000.

Both checked the 6♦ 7♦ 4♠ flop to the 2♥ turn, where Yue led for 55,000 and Neilson stuck around.

Yue checked the K♣ river and Neilson checked behind, his A♣ 6♣ besting her Q♣ J♠ to take the pot.

Despite this, Yue is still sitting on more than 1.5 million in chips, slightly more than start-of-day chip leader Higor Seibel bagged last night.

Francis Anderson

Francis Anderson opened from the cutoff and Toan Chan Truong moved all-in for 174,000 in the big blind. Anderson called and the players flipped their hands:

Toan Chan Truong: A♦ 5♠

Francis Anderson: A♠ K♠

Truong needed to improve and the J♠ 4♦ 3♦ flop saw him pick up a straight draw.

But he missed on the 9♥ turn and 8♦ river, with Anserson's ace-king enough to give him the pot, sending him home before the money in the final day of the high roller event.

Fan Wins the Very Big Flip

Level 18: 8,000 / 16,000 ante: 16,000

The action was joined with Cao Tran Ngoc all-in and at risk against Chih Wei Fan.

Cao Tran Ngoc: A♣ Q♦

Chih Wei Fan: J♠ J♦

"Very big flip," Fan said as the dealer fanned the flop.

Fan stayed ahead with his jacks on the K♦ 2♦ 7♥ flop, and the 5♦ turn gave Ngoc a flush draw for some extra outs.

Unfortunately for the Vietnamese player, the 6♥ river bricked, and he was sent to the rail.

Fan, meanwhile, added a nice boost to his stack and is now approaching the 1 million mark.

Michael Nam

Michael Nam opened Q♠ J♠ from early position and Francis Anderson defended the big blind with A♥ 6♣.

A 6♥ 4♦ 3♣ flop saw Anderson pick up a pair, and check his option to Nam.

Nam bet 33,000 with queen-high and Anderson called. The Q♣ turn prompted Anderson to check again, and Nam, who just made a pair of queens, bet 56,000.

Anderson took some time before folding his hand, passing the pot to Nam.

After the hand, Nam remarked to his fellow countryman Anderson, "American's never bluff".

Teeraphat Rangkatekarn raised to 32,000 from early position and was joined on the flop by button Yulin Li, and big blind Wei Huang.

The dealer fanned the 7♥ 9♦ 9♠ flop and Huang checked. Rangkatekarn continued for 16,000, and Li called.

Huang check-raised to 61,000, prompting a fold from Rangkatekarn, and Li used a time bank before re-raising to 151,000.

Huang used a time bank of his own before going up to 261,000, but Li responded with a jam and Huang quickly mucked.

Higor Seibel opened K♠ 7♥ from the cutoff and Michael Nam defended his big blind with 9♣ 6♣.

The 5♠ 4♥ 3♥ flop saw both pick up a straight draw, and both checked to see the 7♠ turn.

Seibel hit top pair, but Nam was looking at the straight. Nam bet 17,000 and Seibel stuck around to see the 6♠ complete the board, putting a straight on the table.

Nam bet 81,000 but Seibel used a time-bank before betting 500,000, asking for Nam's remaining 202,000.

Nam pushed his hand into the muck, sending Seibel over 1.5 million in chips.

Lee Wee Liew

Chih Wei Fan was in the small blind and already in a pot with Lee Wee Liew, who was at risk for his last ~140,000 from the big blind. Fan had him just covered and the players flipped over their cards.

Lee Wee Liew: A♠ 2♣

Chih Wei Fan: Q♠ T♠

Liew was ahead and things stayed that way on the 7♠ 8♣ 8♠ flop.

The 6♦ turn saw Fan get closer to the backdoor straight, and he got there on the 9♥ river, sending Liew to the rail.

Hang Xu: A♥ Q♦

Yan Zhang: 7♦ 7♣

The queen on the Q♣ 4♦ 6♠ flop vaulted the short stack into the lead, but the 5♣ turn gave Zhang an open-ender to go with his set outs, and Xu let out a wry laugh at the possibility of a runner-runner ending his tournament.

Thankfully for him, the 9♥ bricked on the river, and Xu scored a crucial double.

Francis Anderson open-jammed on the button for 490,000 and Atsushi Yokoyama called in the big blind, putting their final 98,000 at risk.

Atsushi Yokoyama: A♥ K♥

Francis Anderson: A♠ J♥

There was a sweat for Yokoyama as a jack came in the window, but then came the queen and jack, on the rest of the K♠ Q♦ J♠ flop, keeping Yokoyama ahead.

Another Q♠ fell on the turn, which saw Anderson pick up a royal flush draw but the J♣ river was still enough for Anderson to take the pot with the boat.

Toro pushed out a time bank, before making the call for his last 100,000 and tournament life.

Sebastian Toro: K♣ Q♣

Quang Trinh Do: A♣ K♦

Toro was looking to hit to stay alive but missed on the low 6♥ 6♦ 3♠ 3♣ T♥ runout, making him the first to hit the rail in the final day of the high roller event.

Nagami check-raised Fritz's 16,000 continuation bet to 40,000 on the T♣ K♣ Q♠ flop, and the Austrian player stuck around.

The 7♥ landed on the turn, and Nagami instantly jammed his remaining 95,000 and Fritz snapped it off.

Nagami tabled K♥ T♠ for two pair, ahead of Fritz's K♠ 7♠ for a lower two pair in what was a pretty sick spot. The 8♠ river changed nothing, and Nagami scored the double.

KRW 1.27 Billion on the Line as APT High Roller Finale Begins Today

https://ik.pokerevents.live/Events/01000000-1d1e-335d-0c7e-08ded28bd787/HR_Trophy_1_7daac44f7c.jpg_yzVZOolNb.webp?tr=w-800

The APT Jeju 2026 festival continued to deliver another blockbuster turnout as the APT High Roller drew a strong field to LES A Casino, with players returning today to continue their pursuit of one of the series' most prestigious titles.

By the close of registration, the tournament had comfortably smashed its KRW 700,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, generating a final prize pool of KRW 1,274,400,000 (~USD 958,195) across 295 entries. With just 39 players making the money, more than half of the returning field will leave with a min-cash, guaranteed at least KRW 8,700,000 (~USD 6,540).

All eyes remain firmly fixed on the top prize, with the eventual champion set to walk away with KRW 252,850,000 (~USD 190,110), the accompanying trophy, and an added APT Championship seat worth USD 10,000 for Taipei next month after navigating one of the toughest fields of the festival.

A number of familiar faces and accomplished tournament regulars remain in contention as play resumes, with positioning becoming increasingly important as the money bubble approaches.

Higor Seibel

Leading the remaining 65 survivors is Brazil's Higor Seibel, who bagged a massive 1,500,000 stack, almost 500,000 clear of China's Mou Yue(1,025,000) and India's Kunal Patni (989,000). Seibel had a steady start to the tournament, slowly chipping his way up to the top of the leaderboard.

Seibel has already been making a name for himself in what appears to be his debut APT series, having locked up fourth place in the Single Day High Roller earlier in the festival for KRW 36,470,000 (~USD 26,885), and will now be looking to convert his chip lead into another deep run.

Many former APT champions also advanced into the final day including Hong Kong's Stephen Pang, who just made it inside the top ten counts by the end of close yesterday. He will be accompanied by Germany's Rene von Reden(757,000), Australia's Daniel Neilson (556,000), Germany's Martin Sedlak (543,000), and 2025 APT Jeju Main Event champion Abraham Ceesvin of Singapore (421,000) all securing healthy stacks.

They are joined in the upper ranks by Scott Margereson (733,000), Tom Verbruggen (663,000), Wouter Beltz (575,000), Dillon Najor (536,000), Jiapeng Zhou (504,000), and Francis Anderson (500,000).

Chih Wei Fan

Meanwhile, WSOP bracelet winners Abhinav Iyer (481,000) and Georgios Skarparis (342,000), along with Calvin Lau (346,000), Dicky Tsang (278,000), and Natural8 ambassador Chih Wei Fan (192,000), remain firmly in the mix.

Action resumes at the start of Level 17, with blinds at 6,000/12,000 with an 12,000 ante, and players returning to their seats looking to move one step closer to the title, a share of the prize pool, and a place in APT history.

You can follow all the action as it happens via live coverage right here on the blog, or tune in to the delayed stream (30-minute delay) on the official APT YouTube Channel.
