Tarun Guwalani Wins Inaugural APT Baby Zodiac Classic Event Sponsored by Natural8

Level 32: 100,000 / 200,000 ante: 200,000

Tarun Guwalani

The inaugural APT Baby Zodiac Classic sponsored by Natural8 proved a popular draw at APT Jeju 2026, attracting 223 entries (152 unique) and generating a KRW 289,008,000 ( ~USD 217,300) prize pool-more than doubling its KRW 125,000,000 guarantee.

After the field was reduced to just 69 returning players for the final day, it was India's Tarun Guwalani who emerged victorious, defeating China's Hongbo Pan heads-up to capture the title, the silver lion silhouette trophy, and KRW 61,158,000 ( ~USD 45,980) in prize money.

Pan collected KRW 41,150,000 ( ~USD 30,940) for his runner-up finish after a strong final table performance, while the United Kingdom's Ryan Plant completed the podium in third place for KRW 29,020,000 ( ~USD 21,820).

Tarun Guwalani

For Tarun Guwalani, the victory carried extra significance. Having transitioned from primarily playing cash games to focusing more heavily on tournaments in recent months, the title represented the reward for countless hours of study and preparation.

When asked what it meant to finally lift his first APT trophy, Guwalani reflected on the work that went into the achievement:

"It feels very special. I have worked... basically I am a cash game player, so making a transition to tournaments, I know how much I have worked these past few months. So it just paid off."

His path to the title was far from straightforward. With just 16 players remaining and sitting on around ten big blinds, Guwalani found himself needing help to stay alive in the tournament. When asked what was going through his mind as the queen arrived to save his run, his answer reflected the effort and preparation that went into today's win:

"Just play my ranges. I have studied way too much, more than anybody else, and let the cards roll off."

While his stack recovered and momentum gradually shifted in his favour, Guwalani admitted he never lost belief that a breakthrough result was on the horizon:

"To be honest, I have been running deep in all the tournaments I have been playing here in Jeju. Maybe four or five tournaments I have cashed before this, so I knew it was coming. Just keep doing what I can do... I knew it was coming. It was coming."

Moments later, with the trophy in hand and a first APT title secured, Guwalani's prediction had become reality.

Final Day Action

Maxim Sorokin

A number of players started off well upon returning to the field on the second day of the Baby Zodiac Classic. Maxim Sorokin doubled after catching a lucky river, while on the table just across, Michel Molenaar was making moves after hitting two pair with his ace-jack hole cards to claim an early chip lead.

Some players didn't share the same luck and hit the rail early in the day, including Renji Mao, who bowed out early, along side other short stacks.

Taking over a seat at the feature table seemed to work well today, with doubles coming through for recent newcomers to the stream, while Yue Sun also found a vital early double-up to keep her tournament alive.

Yue Sun

Abreham Ceesvin, who came into the day second in chips, commanded much of the morning's attention. Despite getting himself into a few sticky spots, he maintained his chip advantage and remained among the frontrunners heading toward the middle of the day.

Approaching the money bubble, play slowed down significantly. It took under ten rounds of hand-for-hand play before a crucial double on the bubble extended proceedings. This lead to Korakot Suvarnpridikul ultimately becoming the bubble boy after four-bet jamming pocket nines into Wengang Wang's pocket jacks and failing to improve.

Eliminations then came thick and fast as the field thinned, with players eyeing up spots at the final two tables.

Yue Sun put together another deep run before finally hitting the rail, adding yet another APT cash to her impressive record. Known on the circuit for her dominance in women's events, Sun collected two victories and two runner-up finishes at APT Incheon earlier this year, having also secured three titles in 2025.

Others who cashed but fell short of the final 16 included Yuhan Wang, whose run ended after getting his stack in with ace-queen against Shouda Zhang's ace-king and Wengang Wang's pocket kings.

Ryan Plant enjoyed a steady start to the day before climbing rapidly up the counts. Plant eliminated Wengang Wang after defending eight-six offsuit and flopping two pair, a hand that proved a massive turning point. Crossing the one million chip threshold by the final 16, Plant continued to build.

Hua Wei Lin

Action slowed approaching the final table, but with 40-minute levels, rising blinds forced fast play, seeing the field drop from 14 to 10 in a single level. After a strong run, Natural8 ambassador Hua Wei Lin burst the final table bubble after getting her pocket threes in against Tarun Guwalani's king-nine on the turn. Guwalani rivered a pair, entering the final table with a comfortable stack, giving a hint of what was to come.

Final Table

(Top L-R) Tarun Guwalani, Shouda Zhang, John Matsuda, Motokatsu Uhara, Maxim Sorokin (Bottom L-R) Meng Dian Peng, Hongbo Pan, Nikita Ustiuzhanin, Ryan Plant

After 10 hours of play, the final nine was set. Hongbo Pan had steadily climbed the ranks throughout the day, scoring several eliminations including former APT champion Trung Quan Nguyen.

It took less than ten hands at the final table for Nikita Ustiuzhanin to get his remaining chips into the middle with big slick against Shouda Zhang's ace-jack. Zhang flopped a jack, sending Ustiuzhanin to the rail in ninth place for KRW 6,240,000 ( ~USD 4,690).

Hongbo Pan held a significant chip lead going into eight-handed play. After getting bet off a sizeable pot a couple of hands earlier, John Matsuda put his tournament life on the line with pocket tens. He was ahead all the way until Maxim Sorokin spiked a diamond on the river, sending Matsuda home in eighth place for KRW 7,540,000 ( ~USD 5,670). The hand vaulted Sorokin into a competing top position alongside Pan.

Shouda Zhang

The two shortest stacks then went to war with less than a small blind separating them. Shouda Zhang got it in with pocket tens against Motokatsu Uhara's ace-queen, but Uhara paired his ace on the flop, leaving Zhang with just a chip and a chair. Zhang was all-in again the following hand, getting his last few chips in behind and failing to recover, exiting in seventh place for KRW 10,320,000 ( ~USD 7,760).

Despite average stacks sitting at around 25 big blinds, players preferred post-flop play over simple pre-flop shoves. Maxim Sorokin asserted himself as chip leader by applying pressure in key spots and sitting atop the counts late in the day. However, escalating blinds and a series of lost pots saw him quickly slide down the leaderboard.

Motokatsu Uhara was the next player at risk, getting his pocket tens in good against Ryan Plant's ace-jack suited. Plant rivered an ace, sending Uhara out in sixth place for KRW 14,130,000 ( ~USD 10,625).

The next casualty followed quickly as Meng Dian Peng ran into Ryan Plant's pocket rockets. Peng's jack-ten failed to improve, ending his run in fifth place for KRW 18,610,000 ( ~USD 13,990).

Four-handed play proved a battle as Maxim Sorokin and Ryan Plant maintained balanced aggression, trading control with Tarun Guwalani and Hongbo Pan. Chips flew back and forth without a clear leader as players continually swapped stacks in big pots.

Eventually, Maxim Sorokin and Hongbo Pan collided in a massive open-shove pot. Sorokin's ace-six offsuit was dominated by Pan's ace-queen, and a queen on the flop sealed Sorokin's elimination in fourth place for KRW 23,530,000 ( ~USD 17,690).

Ryan Plant

On the very next hand, Ryan Plant suffered a similar fate. Plant had repeatedly worked his way out of danger throughout the final table and scored two eliminations. However, after committing his remaining big blinds with ace-five offsuit, he ran straight into Hongbo Pan's ace-ten. The board brought no help, ending Plant's run in third place for KRW 29,020,000 ( ~USD 21,820) and sending the remaining two players into heads-up play.

Heads-Up

Tarun Guwalani (right), Hongbo Pan (left)

Then there were two: Hongbo Pan and Tarun Guwalani. It was no surprise to see Pan, who started Day 2 seventh in chips, reach the final duel. Guwalani, meanwhile, had flown largely under the radar until the final two tables.

At one point, Guwalani was down to just ten big blinds and all-in with two overcards against pocket sevens. Spiking a queen on the flop to double up set the stage for his comeback charge.

Entering heads-up play virtually level, Pan held the slimmest edge. That lead quickly evaporated as Guwalani relentlessly applied pressure and seized the chip lead within a few hands.

The pair contested nearly every pot, seeing constant flops, but Guwalani continually came out on the winning side of chip pushes by forcing folds from better hands.

Pan briefly rallied to find some momentum, but Guwalani maintained control and denied Pan a double-up when they chopped a board with matching ace-kickers.

Hongbo Pan

The final hand came swiftly as Pan looked down at queen-ten suited and called off Guwalani's shove. Although Pan started ahead, Guwalani flopped bottom pair, which held through the turn and river to secure the tournament victory and send Pan home in second place.

That conclues converage of the first-ever APT Baby Zodiac Classic sponsored by Natural8 which proved an undisputed success. Stay with the APT blog as the final days of the APT Jeju 2026 series come to a close.

Nikita Ustiuzhanin open-jammed for 278,000 on the button and action went to Yingjie Chen in the big blind. Chen took some time, before committing the rest of his 207,000 stack into the pot, putting his tournament life at risk.

Yingjie Chen: A♦ 6♠

Nikita Ustiuzhanin: A♣ 8♣

The flop came 6♥ T♣ 6♣, giving Chen trip sixes, but there were two clubs working for Ustiuzhanin.

A 5♣ turn quickly snatched the lead away from Chen, as it brought in the flush for Ustiuzhanin.

With no improvement on the 7♠ river, Chen hit the rail in 20th place, leaving the remaining players one step closer to making the final two tables.

Wengang Wang

Wengang Wang was ahead, and with all the kings already dealt, he was hoping to avoid an ace on the runout to knock out two players from the tournament.

The monotone 5♠ 9♠ 8♠ flop gave Zhang some hope of survival, and things just got better for him as the A♣ came on the turn.

Yuhan Wang

It was the end of the road for Yuhan Wang, as the river came the J♣, and and Zhang got a near triple up. Knocking down Wengang Wang to around ten big blinds.

Pan had flopped the goods and trapped Xia perfectly into calling him off with fourth pair. The 9♣ river changed nothing and Pan was shipped the pot for a tasty double-up.

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.

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.

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.
