Rudy Edenata Becomes First Indonesian Mega Lion Champion in APT High Roller

Level 32: 200,000 / 400,000 ante: 400,000

Rudy Edenata wins the APT High Roller

The final flagship event of the Asian Poker Tour Jeju Classic 2026 has crowned its champion, and in doing so, delivered one of the most remarkable breakthrough stories of the festival. Rudy Edenata emerged victorious in the APT High Roller, capturing the Rose Gold Mega Lion trophy and becoming the first Indonesian player ever to win an APT Mega Lion title.

Edenata topped a stacked field of 259 entries, comfortably surpassing the original KRW 750 million guarantee to generate a KRW 1,118,880,000 (~USD 763,740) prize pool. His victory was worth KRW 233,530,000 (~USD 159,400), along with a seat to the APT Championship Main Event in November, capping off a career-defining performance in the festival’s final headline event after he defeated WSOP bracelet winner Weiran Pu heads-up.

The result carries added significance given Edenata’s rapid rise in the game. Having only begun playing tournament poker in August 2025, the Indonesian grinder has wasted little time making his mark. With this win, Edenata vaults from 10th to 6th on Indonesia’s All-Time Money List, a staggering leap that underlines just how quickly his trajectory has accelerated.

While Edenata represents Indonesia on the record books, his poker base has long been in Asia. Now residing in Manila, where he relocated several years ago, Edenata has become a familiar presence on the regional circuit. Indonesia may not traditionally dominate the APT’s biggest titles, but in Jeju, that narrative shifted adding a new country to the Mega Lion winners list and closing the festival with a milestone moment

Final Day Action

With 55 players returning for the Final Day, the first objective was to make the money. Renji Mao, Jun Li, Jayden Zalac, and Fendy Kosasih all came up short, with the latter flopping a flush with eight-seven and getting outdrawn on the river by Yilong Wang's ace-ten.

The bubble was a short affair as just a few hands in, Ka Ho Ip got his ace-king in the middle against Rushen Chen's ace-ten. Unfortunately for Ip, a ten on the turn sent him home empty-handed and locked up a cash prize for the remaining 31 players.

Eliminations then came thick and fast on the way to the final table with Ledong Zhou, Peter Da, Rene von Reden, and Robert Nemeskeri-Kiss falling before the final table. Christian Tabac, who finished third in the Main Event a day prior, ended his run in thirteenth, and the start-of-day chip lead Yunpeng Bai was the unfortunate final table bubble boy.

Bai picked up pocket nines and ran them into the pocket tens of Pu. A clean runout later, and the final table was set.

Yunpeng Bai

When the final table got underway, Pu was the clear chip leader with Chi Dung Tran in second, and Joseph Cheong in third. It took twenty-five hands before a seat became vacant as Toan Chan Truong shoved pocket sevens from under the gun. Tran woke up with ace-queen suited and flopped top two, which was enough to send Truong to the rail in ninth for KRW 23,850,000 (~$16,280).

Not long after, Pu shoved from the small blind with king-queen and Cheong quickly called with a short stack holding ace-four in the big blind. A queen-high flop was enough to send the APT All-Time Money Leader out in eighth, and he will add KRW 28,820,000 (~USD 19,670) to his already impressive poker resume.

Joseph Cheong

Haohui Ma finished eighth in the Main Event during the festival, and went one better in the APT High Roller before his run came to an end. Ma shoved with ace-eight and got looked up by the ace-jack of Edenata. With the board improving neither player, Ma exited in seventh for a cash of KRW 39,420,000 (~$26,910).

Just five hands later, Jun Lin had his marching orders. Lin three-bet shoved ace-five and was put at risk by the pocket eights of Pu. No aces appeared, which left Lin on the sidelines in sixth with KRW 54,000,000 (~USD 36,860).

Jun Lin

Edenata then took over as the chip leader from Pu, but the Chinese player battled back after a well-timed bluff against Tran. Pu raised with six-five and Tran called with ten-nine. Pu then bet the flop, the turn, and shoved the river after making fourth pair. Tran had a missed open-ender so had to let it go, and Pu was back on top of the pack.

Jun Chen then found himself short-stacked and shoved king-jack from the small blind. Pu made the call with queen-ten and turned a queen, which left Chen out in fifth for a payday of KRW 71,110,000 (~$48,540).

Jun Chen

Chang Hwan Lee had battled his way into the top four, and his run looked to be coming to an end when he got his pocket tens in against Tran's pocket jacks. However, a ten on the flop gave him a set and a lifeline.

Moments later, Tran was gone. Pu shoved the small blind with pocket sixes and Tran made the call with queen-ten. The board missed Tran, who left just shy of the podium places in fourth for KRW 89,880,000 (~$61,352).

Chi Dung Tran

Lee rode his luck as long as he could, but he eventually called off a shove with ace-deuce and was far behind the ace jack of Edenata. Both players paired their kickers on the flop, but with no more deuces in sight, Lee had to settle for third and a payout of KRW 110,860,000 (~$75,670).

Chang Hwan Lee

When heads-up play got underway, Edenata held a three-to-two chip advantage over Pu, but that quickly extended to a six-to-one lead after Edenata just proved too tough for Pu in the early stages.

Pu did find a double-up after he shoved king-eight and got looked up by Edenata's ace-queen. A king on the flop denied Edenata the victory, at least for a moment.

Weiran Pu

as the battled raged on, a huge hand played out Pu snap-called the three-bet shove of Edenata with pocket jacks, and just had to hold against the Indonesian player's ace-ten. A ten-high flop kept Pu in the lead, but Edenata spiked an ace on the river to clinch the title, leaving Pu out as the runner-up.

That concludes the coverage of the APT High Roller and the APT Jeju Classic 2026. The next stop runs in Taipei between April 22 and May 3 at Asia Poker Arena and Red Space, and it's sure to deliver more memorable moments.

Tabac maxed out the 5 time banks - all spent staring down Cheong. The dealer had to collect his hand when the clock ran out, shipping the chips to Cheong.

Lee Finds a Way to Survive Against Cheong

Level 20: 10,000 / 25,000 ante: 25,000

Kyung Min Lee

Joseph Cheong is still going along nicely in the APT High Roller, but just took a hit to his stack in a clash with Kyung Min Lee.

Cheong had opened middle position and Lee defended his big blind to the 7♥ K♥ Q♣ flop. The rest of Lee's short stack got in the middle, with him needing to catch up.

Kyung Min Lee: J♣ T♦

Joseph Cheong: K♣ 5♣

Cheong had flopped to pair and was in good shape, with Lee needing to find an ace or a nine to complete his straight. The 5♠ turn didn't do it, but the 9♥ river did, which kept Lee alive.

Action folded back to Truong, who made the call.

Mengqing Luo: K♥ J♣

Luo seemed that he was on his way out, but the poker gods threw a board of 3♠ K♠ 4♣ K♦ 6♦

Vasquez Close to Colombia's Top Ten

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

Andres Vasquez

Andres Vasquez, who is eleventh on Colombia's All-Time Money List, is teetering on the edge of his country's top ten. A third-place finish or above in the APT High Roller would get him there, but he has his work to do after just losing a pot.

There was already around 130,000 in the pot on a 5♣ K♦ J♦ flop when Chang Hwan Lee checked from middle position, and Vasquez fired 65,000 from the cutoff. Lee called.

Both checked the 3♣ turn and 4♣ river, where Lee showed A♠ Q♣ for ace-high. Vasquez mucked his cards, forfeiting the pot to Lee.

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

Weiran Pu

Zhifan Ye is no more in the APT High Roller as he just fell to Weiran Pu.

Pu opened from middle position to 32,000 and Ye called from the small blind.

The flop came 5♠ T♦ 5♦ and after Ye checked, Pu fired 30,000. Ye then raised to 120,000, Pu shoved, and Ye called for his remaining stack of around 200,000.

Zhifan Ye: J♣ T♣

Weiran Pu: Q♠ Q♣

Ye seemed confident with his call as he instantly put the chips in, but was already on his feet as the 4♠ fell on the turn. A Q♦ river improved Pu to a full house, which meant Ye was eliminated.

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

Renji Mao

A pot of 220,000 was in the middle of the table, which - at this level - is worth a case of champagne.

Competing for the pot was Peter Da on the small blind and Renji Mao from early position.

The board showed Q♠ T♣ 4♣ K♦ 9♣

Da led out with a bet of 55,000 and Mao shoved his last 177,000 past the betting line.

Da made the instant call.

Mao showed A♣ A♥ for a formidable pair of aces, but it wasn't enough against the A♠ J♠ of Da, which showed the nut straight, ending Mao's High Roller campaign.

No Rest for Tabac as He Runs It Up in the APT High Roller

Level 17: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

Christian Tabac

Christian Tabac finished third in the record-breaking APT Main Event less than 24 hours ago, and as soon as he busted, he ran up a stack in the APT High Roller.

Tabac started the day second in chips, but just lost a few to his table neighbor Kyung Min Lee after a failed bluff attempt.

After Tabac limped the small blind, Lee checked his option from the big blind and saw the 9♥ 5♥ J♥ flop. Tabac check-called a bet of 12,000 from Lee to the 7♠ turn, where both checked.

On the A♦ river, Tabac led out for 50,000, and Lee used up a time bank before making the call.

Tabac didn't want to show and just mucked, which meant Lee took the pot without revealing his cards.

Level 17: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

Joseph Cheong

In a battle of the blinds, a preflop pot of 86,000 was in the middle between Peng Chen on the small blind, and Joseph Cheong on the big blind.

Both players checked the flop of 6♦ 4♦ 9♠ to open a 7♦ on the turn.

Chen checked his option and Cheong fired 65,000.

Chen the re-raised all-in, covering the stack of Cheong, but Cheong was not deterred and made the immediate call, risking his last 256,000.

Joseph Cheong: 7♠ 7♣

Peng Chen: 8♠ 2♣

Cheong turned a set while Chen had outs with an open-ended straight draw. However, the 8♥ river wasn't any of his outs, and while Chen made a pair, it wasn't enough to beat Cheong's jackpot set of sevens.

Cheong doubled while leaving Chen damaged.

Weiran Pu started the day in the top 3, and has already added to his stack.

Pu raised the cutoff to 25,000 and Zhuoqun Zhang three-bet to 51,000 on the button. When it got back to Pu, he called.

The flop came 6♣ K♣ 3♦ and after Pu checked, Zhang bet 30,000. Pu then raised to 100,000, and Zhang folded.

Elsewhere, Ka Ho Ip had his stack of around 160,000 in the middle and was put at risk by Chuan Wang.

Ka Ho Ip: A♥ J♣

Chuan Wang: 4♥ 4♣

Ip needed to win the flip, and left it late to do so as the 3♠ K♠ 2♠ 2♦ J♥ board gave him a pair of jacks on the river.

APT High Roller Champion To Lift Rose Gold Lion Trophy Today

The APT High Roller is the final flagship event of the APT Jeju Classic 2026 and offers the last of the coveted APT mega lion trophies. In this event, it is the APT rose gold lion trophy - which has been won by the likes of Vietnam's Ngo Khoa Anh during APT Jeju 2025 and by Ireland's Toby Joyce during the APT Championship Taipei 2025.

There were a total of 259 entries that signed up for this event to generate a total prize pool of KRW 1,118,880,000 (~USD 763,740), eclipsing the original KRW 750 million guarantee. After sixteen 40-minute levels, only 55 survivors remained who will continue their APT High Roller championship quest today.

Yungpeng Bai

Sitting atop the chipleader throne is China's Yunpeng Bai, who enters the final day with a stack of 1,408,000. Not that far behind is Romania's Christian Tabac with 1,350,000, while China's Weiran Pu rounds up the top three with 1,213,000.

Tabac placed 3rd in the APT Jeju Classic 2026 Main Event and will look to carry the momentum into a win. Meanwhile, also in the top ten is former APT Main Event winner Rene von Reden, who looks to add another mega lion trophy to his collection.

These are the top ten chip counts entering today's final day:

Player	Chips
YB Yunpeng BaiChina	1,408,000
CT Christian TabacRomania	1,350,000
WP Weiran PuChina	1,213,000
SZ Shouda ZhangChina	1,010,000

ZY Zhifan YeChina	729,000
KD Kanwen DuChina	697,000
YY Yi YeChina	670,000
RA Rene Alexander Von RedenGermany	666,000

The returning survivors will still have to thin the field to the top 31, who will earn a share from the payout pie. The 31st place will earn at least KRW 9,720,000 (~USD 6,635), while the champion gets to bank the lion's share of KRW 233,530,000 (~USD 159,400) plus a seat to the APT Championship Main Event in Taipei worth USD 10,000.

former APT HIgh Roller champion Martin Sedlak

Outside of the top ten, some notables still in contention include six-time APT winner Hayato Kitajima (528,000), former APT High Roller winner Martin Sedlak (382,000), APT all-time money list leader Joseph Cheong (300,000) and recent High Roller winner Renji Mao (216,000).

Cards will be in the air at 11:15 AM local time.

There will also be 30-minute delayed livestream at the APT Official YouTube Channel.
