Level 20: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

Dashan Zhang

Heads up to the flop of 6♣ 3♦ 9♠ with about 100,000 in the pot and Dashan Zhang led out from the big blind for 40,000. John Matsuda, sat in the cutoff, made the call.

The dealer peeled off the A♣ as the turn and Zhang fired out a second bullet of 85,000. Matsuda tanked for a while and made the call.

On the 8♥ river Matsuda went into the tank and checked Zhang's stack before he loaded up a river bet of 188,000 and fired it out. This sent Zhang into the tank, but only for a short while before he mucked his hand and the pot was pushed to Matsuda with no showdown.

Matsuda Spikes the River to Crack Ceesvin's Bullets

Level 19: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000

John Matsuda

Abraham Ceesvin opened to 20,000 from early position and Dashan Zhang flat-called from the next seat as did John Matsuda from the big blind.

The flop came T♠ 7♠ 3♠ and Matsuda checked to Ceesvin who continued for 40,000 and found two calls.

On the 5♠ turn Matsuda led out for 58,000. Ceesvin tanked for a while before he raised all-in and had both players covered. Zhang got out of the way quickly and Matsuda made the call for his tournament life.

John Matsuda: 9♠ 6♠

Abraham Ceesvin: A♠ A♥

Matsuda was way behind but the turn had given him a double gutter to go along with his flopped flush draw and he had decided to go with it. The poker Gods were on his side today as they served up the 2♠ as the river, which gave Matsuda his flush to crack Ceesvin's aces for the double up and more.

Suvarnpridikul Burst the Money Bubble

Level 19: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000

With the recent level increase, a number of short stacks were beginning to feel the pressure.

Ryan Plant raised to 20,000 from middle position before Wengang Wang three-bet to 55,000 from the hijack. Korakot Suvarnpridikul then moved all-in for 303,000 from the big blind. Plant folded, but Wang made the call, only just covering Suvarnpridikul to put him at risk on the money bubble.

With action still ongoing at the feature table, play was paused before the cards were eventually revealed.

Korakot Suvarnpridikul: 9♦ 9♣

Wengang Wang: J♣ J♦

Suvarnpridikul was looking for a nine, but found no help on the T♠ 2♥ Q♣ flop. The K♦ turn left him needing a jack to make a straight, but the T♥ river sealed his elimination in 32nd place, just one spot short of the KRW 2,540,000 (~USD 1,910) minimum cash.

Short Stacks Double on Bubble

Level 18: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Dashan Zhang raised to 16,000 from the hijack before Motokatsu Uhara three-bet all-in for 45,000 from the cutoff. Zhang made the call to put Uhara at risk.

Motokatsu Uhara: J♣ J♠

Dashan Zhang: K♥ 9♦

Uhara remained comfortably ahead on the T♣ 4♠ 3♦ flop before the J♦ turn improved him to a set. Zhang picked up a gutshot, but the 8♦ river was no help and Uhara doubled up.

Two hands later at the same table, David Erquiaga raised to 40,000 from the hijack before Yuhan Wang three-bet to 90,000 effective, putting Erquiaga all-in. Erquiaga made the call for his tournament life.

David Erquiaga: Q♣ Q♠

Yuhan Wang: 7♣ 7♥

Erquiaga had much more to sweat on the 5♣ 4♣ 6♦ flop, which gave Wang an open-ended straight draw to go with his two remaining sevens. The K♦ turn and J♣ river kept Erquiaga ahead, earning him a double-up as well.

Ng check-called a continuation-bet of 20,000 from Nagami on the 4♣ 5♦ 9♣ flop before the 2♥ landed on the turn. Ng checked again and Nagami fired a second barrel of 55,000, which Ng called.

The 9♦ completed the board and Ng went into the tank before moving all-in, covering Nagami. Nagami thought it over briefly before letting his hand go, sending the pot Ng's way without showdown.

Singapore's Abraham Ceesvin Eyes Inaugural APT Baby Zodiac Classic Title

Former APT Jeju Main Event Champion Abraham Ceesvin

The APT Jeju 2026 festival has delivered once again, drawing a huge crowd to the luxurious LES A Casino for the inaugural running of the APT Baby Zodiac Classic, sponsored by Natural8.

The baby version of the already popular Zodiac Classic saw 223 (152 unique) players generate a massive prize pool of KRW 289,008,000 (~USD 217,300), more than doubling the KRW 125,000,000 guarantee.

Of the 223 players who took to the felt, 69 have survived and bagged up chips to battle it out on the felt today.

Malaysia’s Leonard Ng leads the charge heading into the final day after bagging up a massive 369,500 chips. Singapore’s Abraham Ceesvin is hot on Ng’s heels with 357,000, while Japan’s Kyosuke Nagami sits in the bronze medal spot with 353,000.

31 players will make the money, with a minimum cash of KRW 2,540,000 (~USD 1,910), but all remaining players will have their eyes on the mouth watering top prize of KRW 61,158,000 (~USD 45,980) that the eventual winner will take home along with the stunning APT Silver Lion Silhouette Baby Zodiac trophy.

Full APT Jeju 2026 Payouts

Ng is in the hunt for his first major title but has a whole host of notable players chomping at his heels as they all look to get their hands on the prestigious inaugural trophy.

Ceesvin really needs no introduction to APT blog followers, being the former APT Jeju Main Event champion with a plethora of APT deep runs and final table appearances. With his wealth of knowledge and experience, he is sure to put on a fine performance here.

Kyosuke Nagami

Nagami has three APT titles to his name and, like Ceesvin, has numerous APT final tables under his belt. He will be looking for a deep run here to push closer to the USD 2 million mark in lifetime earnings.

All-time APT money earner, the USA’s Joseph Cheong, is sitting pretty in the top ten with 209,000 and, with his wealth of experience and deep runs, can never be ruled out of making a run at the title and crossing the USD 21.5 million mark in lifetime earnings.

Joseph Cheong

Other notables to keep an eye on are The Netherlands’ Michel Molenaar (205,000), Natural8 Ambassador Hua Wei Lin(197,000), the UK’s Ryan Plant (148,000), Russia’s Maxim Lykov (146,000), Molenaar’s compatriot Joris Michl(145,000), Vietnam’s Trung Quan Nguyen (145,000) and Japan’s John Matsuda (127,000).

Ryan Plant

Day 2 kicks off today, October 5, at 11.15 a.m. local time. Play will resume at Level 14, with blinds at 1,500/3,000 and a 3,000 Big Blind Ante. Levels will be 40 minutes long, with a 15-minute break every three levels. There is no scheduled dinner break.

Stay tuned and don’t miss any of the action as play continues until the inaugural APT Baby Zodiac champion is crowned.
