MPT Main Event Final Table

The official final table kicked off with the rapid departure of Liying Su in 9th place. The last woman remaining in the field, Su three-bet shoved her short stack holding ace-eight offsuit but ran directly into Hassam’s pocket nines. The board provided no help, making Su the first casualty of the final table.

Liying Su

Hassam quickly secured his next elimination by calling a pre-flop three-bet from Jun Zhou. On a seven-six-four flop, Hassam led out with a bet and Zhou called, bringing a queen on the turn. Hassam moved Zhou all in, and Zhou committed his remaining chips with pocket jacks, only to find himself trailing Hassam’s flopped set of sixes. The river bricked out, sending Zhou to the rail in 8th place.

Shoumin Zhang

Right before the scheduled tournament break, Xi Wang open-shoved his short stack from the small blind with ace-six offsuit. Donghui Chi woke up with ace-king in the big blind and made a quick snap-call. The superior kicker held up through a dry runout, eliminating Wang in 7th place just as the remaining players headed to the interval.

Five minutes into the next blind level, Shoumin Zhang three-bet shoved pocket deuces over an initial open. Hassam four-bet isolate-shoved over the top from the big blind with ace-queen, forcing a fold from the original raiser. Hassam spiked a pair of queens on the flop, and with no deuce appearing on the turn or river, Zhang was knocked out in 6th place. This massive pot pushed Hassam to over 50 percent of the total chips in play.

Donghui Chi was the next to fall after open-shoving ace-jack from the button. Hassam requested a chip count before making the call out of the big blind with ace-three. Chi looked primed for a crucial double-up after safely navigating the flop, but a three hit the turn to give Hassam a winning pair, sending Chi out the door in 5th place.

Donghui Chi

Following Chi's elimination, the final four players paused the tournament clock to look at the numbers for a potential deal. Just prior to the stoppage, Chee Hoong Yeoh had managed to stay alive by rivering a flush with eight-seven suited to score a double-up against Peilong Pan's turned top pair.

Shehzad Hassam

Because Hassam held a commanding lead with more than half of the total chips in play, the remaining three competitors, including Pan and Yeoh, unanimously agreed to award him the trophy and the official victory.

The ICM deal was successfully finalized, concluding the tournament and crowning Shehzad Hassam the newest MPT Main Event Champion.

Donghui Chi: A♣ J♦

Shehzad Hassam: A♥ 3♥

Chi was looking good to double up, heavily dominating Hassam's ace-three. He stayed safely ahead on the T♠ 9♣ 7♠ flop, but disaster struck on the 3♠ turn, delivering a brutal three-outer to put Hassam in front.

Just five minutes into the new level, another player has hit the rail.

Shoumin Zhang: 2♣ 2♥

Shehzad Hassam: A♠ Q♥

Luck was on Hassam's side as he spiked top pair on the Q♦ T♥ 5♣ flop, leaving Zhang chasing just two outs. No deuce appeared on the 9♠ 3♥ runout, eliminating Zhang in 6th place.

Just before the break, action folded to the small blind, where Xi Wang open-shoved his stack. Big blind Donghui Chi made a quick snap-call to set up a showdown.

Wang was in bad shape with his ace-six offsuit against Chi's dominant ace-king.

Under the gun Donghui Chi opened the action by shoving all in for his remaining 1,030,000.

In the hijack, Shoumin Zhang raised the stakes by making an isolation min-click to 1,960,000, successfully forcing the rest of the field to fold and creating a heads-up showdown.

Donghui Chi: 8♥ 8♦

Shoumin Zhang: Q♣ Q♠

Chi was in desperate shape, searching for just two outs, but the 6♦ 4♦ 2♦ flop completely shifted the dynamic by handing him a one card flush draw.

After the T♣ bricked on the turn, the 7♦ spiked on the river to complete the flush, cracking Zhang’s pocket queens and securing Chi an incredible double-up.

Level 27: 50,000 / 100,000 ante: 100,000

Jun Zhou

Shehzad Hassam is putting on an absolute clinic at the final table, continuing his elimination streak by claiming another victim in quick succession.

Hassam initiated the action with an opening raise to 210,000, which was met by a three-bet to 550,000 from Jun Zhou. Hassam made the call to see the flop.

When the dealer fanned a coordinated 7♠ 6♠ 4♣ board, Hassam led out with a hefty bet of 600,000, and Zhou made the call. The Q♦ landed on the turn, prompting Hassam to move Zhou all in. With 410,000 remaining, Zhou committed the rest of his stack.

Jun Zhou: J♦ J♠

Shehzad Hassam: 6♦ 6♥

Zhou discovered the devastating news that he was practically drawing dead against Hassam’s flopped set of sixes.

Needing a miracle jack to survive, Zhou watched the 3♣ brick out on the river, sealing his exit in 8th place as Hassam further cements his chip lead.

Liying Su

Only a few hands into the final table, the field has lost its last remaining female contender.

Shehzad Hassam opened the action with a raise to 160,000, and Liying Su responded by three-bet shoving her remaining stack of roughly 800,000 into the middle. Hassam quickly made the call, setting up a classic pre-flop race.

Liying Su: A♥ 8♥

Shehzad Hassam: 9♣ 9♠

Su was looking for an ace or a favorable heart runout to keep her tournament alive, but the dealer fanned a dry 5♥ 5♣ 3♠ Q♣ Q♥ board.

Hassam's pocket nines held up comfortably, making Su the very first casualty of the final table with a 9th-place finish.

Level 26: 40,000 / 80,000 ante: 80,000

Shortly after Hongye Shi’s departure in 11th place, action heated up on the feature table.

Junyu Huang moved all in with a three-bet shove for 730,000, sending the initial raiser, Shoumin Zhang, into the tank. After some hesitation, Zhang decided to make the call.

Junyu Huang: A♠ 3♠

Shoumin Zhang: K♦ 9♥

Zhang took the lead on the K♠ 8♦ 6♥ flop by pairing his king.

Watching from the sidelines, Liying Su, the last remaining woman in the field, began celebrating and cheering for the king to hold, knowing that Huang's elimination would officially trigger the final table redraw.

The board completed with the 3♣ turn and 7♥ river, securing the pot for Zhang and sending a jubilant Su and the rest of the field to the official final table. Huang was eliminated in 10th place.

Level 26: 40,000 / 80,000 ante: 80,000

While the new level got underway, a severely short-stacked Hongye Shi was down to his final 140,000 chips. Sitting under the gun, Shi opted to limp into the pot, only to face a snap-call from big blind Peilong Pan.

Hongye Shi: T♥ 8♠

Peilong Pan: K♣ K♠

Upon seeing that he was heavily dominated by Pan's pocket kings, Shi stood up from his seat before the dealer even finished running out the board.

The 9♣ 4♣ 3♣ 2♥ Q♠ runout offered no help, sending Shi straight to the cashier cage with an 11th-place finish.

Having been left severely short-stacked after his previous clash with Chee Hoong Yeoh, Junyu Huang moved all in from the small blind for his remaining 365,000. Yeoh defended his big blind and made the call, attempting to finish off his opponent.

Junyu Huang: Q♣ J♣

Chee Hoong Yeoh: 8♦ 7♠

Huang managed to stave off elimination thanks to a highly favorable runout.

The dealer fanned a K♣ 5♣ 4♠ 3♣ 2♥ board, handing Huang a winning club flush on the turn to secure a vital double-up.

Level 25: 30,000 / 60,000 ante: 60,000

Chee Hoong Yeoh

Under the gun Chee Hoong Yeoh opened the action with a raise to 120,000, which prompted a three-bet to 660,000 from Xiaosheng Zheng on the other side of the table.

Action folded around to Junyu Huang in the big blind, who made the cold call. Back on Yeoh, he upped the stakes significantly by four-bet shoving all in for a staggering 2,235,000.

Zheng quickly committed his remaining 780,000, and Huang burned through a time-bank card before eventually calling to create a massive three-way showdown.

Xiaosheng Zheng: J♥ J♦

Chee Hoong Yeoh: A♦ Q♣

Junyu Huang: J♣ J♠

Yeoh shouted in celebration after smashing the A♣ 8♥ 7♥ flop, pairing his ace to take a commanding lead and leave both opponents chasing miracles. The 9♣ turn offered a brief sweat by giving both Zheng and Huang a gutshot straight draw, but the 5♣ river bricked out.

Yeoh scooped the massive pot to eliminate Zheng and leave Huang severely short-stacked.

Hongye Shi has suffered another tough blow to his stack after finding himself on the wrong side of a premium pocket-pair collision.

Lo Rollercoaster Ends

Level 24: 25,000 / 50,000 ante: 50,000

Sing Tai Lo’s rollercoaster day has finally come to an end. After orchestrating a meteoric rise from 39,000 up to 885,000, Lo watched his stack crumble back down to 190,000 before open-shoving from under the gun.

He picked up two customers, as Shehzad Hassam called from the cutoff and Junyu Huang defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned an A♠ Q♦ 5♣ flop. Huang checked over to Hassam, who fired a bet of 200,000, prompting a quick fold from Huang.

Sing Tai Lo: Q♠ J♣

Shi Wins 2.5 Million Pot with Aces

Level 23: 20,000 / 40,000 ante: 40,000

Fresh off his elimination of Fanzuan Lin, Hongye Shi has claimed another victim in an absolute monster of a pot.

Action folded to Shi in the small blind, who clicked it back with a minimum raise. Sitting on his direct left in the big blind, Yi Ma moved all in for roughly 1,200,000. Shi could not call fast enough, instantly committing the chips.

Yi Ma: 2♣ 2♠

Hongye Shi: A♦ A♠

Shi had successfully sprung a massive trap with pocket aces. Ma needed a miracle deuce, but the board ran out a dry T♠ 9♠ 4♠ T♥ 4♣.

Shi's aces held up to secure the massive 2.5 million chip pot and send Ma heading for the payouts.

Lin Shoves Into Better Pair

Level 23: 20,000 / 40,000 ante: 40,000

Fanzuan Lin open-shoved on one hand and found no takers, picking up the blinds and antes.

On the very next hand, facing an open limp from Hongye Shi, Lin shoved his remaining 375,000 into the middle again. This time, Shi quickly made the call.

Fanzuan Lin: 6♦ 6♥

Hongye Shi: 7♥ 7♦

Lin received the bad news that he was heavily dominated in the pocket-pair collision. The board offered no salvation, running out 8♥ 4♣ 2♠ 5♠ 9♥ to eliminate Lin at the hands of Shi.

Under the gun Jun Zhou opened the action with a raise to 60,000, and Xiaosheng Zheng defended his big blind.

Zhou continued his aggression on the A♥ Q♦ 8♦ flop, firing a bet of 50,000. Zheng check-called. The turn brought the 8♥, and Zhou fired a second barrel of 80,000. Once again, Zheng check-called.

When the 9♥ completed the board on the river, Zheng turned the tables and led out with a bet of 125,000. The sudden show of strength was enough to do the trick, forcing a fold from Zhou to secure Zheng the pot.

Pan was unable to replicate that deep run here today, falling short of the money stages on Day 2.

Level 18: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

Early position Jianjun Zhou opened the action with a raise to 25,000, only to face a massive three-bet shove for 498,000 from Peilong Pan in the cutoff.

Zhou went deep into the tank, burning through a time-bank before committing the rest of his 345,000 stack.

Jianjun Zhou: J♦ J♥

Peilong Pan: A♣ K♣

Zhou looked poised for a massive double-up as the dealer fanned a safe 3♥ 2♣ 2♦ flop, followed by the 6♠ on the turn.

However, disaster struck on the river when the K♥ spiked, giving Pan top pair to secure a brutal, come-from-behind victory and send a stunned Zhou to the rail.

It has been a meteoric rise for Pan. After starting Day 2 with just 68,000 chips, that massive knockout has catapulted his stack to a staggering 873,000, making him the current tournament chip leader.

There is no time to dwell on the loss, as the HKD 55,000 MPT High Roller kicks off in just a few minutes. Yu is expected to jump straight into the action to hunt for redemption.

Just a few hands after dropping a massive pot, chip leader Qiu Tu managed to eliminate a player and slowly work his way back up.

Shortly after, the action folded to early position where Yanwen Zeng open-shoved for 180,000. Sitting in the small blind, Tu reshoved over the top, easily forcing the big blind to fold.

Yanwen Zeng: A♦ J♥

Qiu Tu: A♥ K♦

Zeng was unfortunately dominated after running straight into Tu's superior ace-king.

The board ran out 8♣ 6♣ 2♥ T♥ T♣, offering no help to Zeng, who was sent to the rail.

With the knockout, Tu quickly successfully recovered a large portion of his recently lost chips.

Level 16: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Just minutes into the start of Day 2, chip leader Qiu Tu didn't waste any time showing his trademark aggression, but his first major move quickly backfired.

Tu opened the action from under the gun, and Junyu Huang three-bet to 50,000 from middle position. Tu refused to back down and four-bet to 100,000, which Huang called.

The dealer fanned a low 7♥ 5♣ 2♥ flop, prompting a massive 200,000 bet from Tu. Huang answered by moving all in for 232,000, and Tu quickly called.

Junyu Huang: J♥ J♦

Qiu Tu: T♠ T♦

Tu was devastated to see that his pocket tens were crushed by Huang's pocket jacks.

The J♣ turn immediately sealed the hand, improving Huang to an unbeatable top set of jacks. The T♣ on the river gave Tu a completely useless set of his own.

Thanks to the massive early double-up, Huang jumps up the leaderboard while the chip leader takes a significant hit.

The Final March: Day 2 of the MPT Main Event Ready to Crown a Winner

Level 16: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Welcome to Fina Day of the 6th edition MPT Main Event, broadcasting live from the world-class MGM Cotai as part of the prestigious 7th edition MGM Poker Classic 2026.

Today is the day everything changes.

The starting flights are officially in the done, and the remaining field has combined into a single room with just one goal in mind: playing down until a new champion is crowned.

A total field of 778 entries came incredibly close to hitting the marks, leaving a tiny, player-friendly overlay on the massive HKD 8,000,000 (~USD 990,000) total prize pool. The house has stepped in to cover the minor deficit, meaning maximum value is up for grabs for the remaining contenders.

All 95 players returning to the felt today have already secured a piece of that prize pool, locking up a guaranteed minimum cash of HKD 17,600 (~USD 2,240).

However, eyes are firmly fixed on the life-changing money at the top of the payout structure, where the eventual winner will take home a massive HKD 1,472,320 (~USD 187,700) alongside ultimate poker glory and the coveted MPT trophy.

Full payouts and prize pool breakdowns are available on the Somuchpoker website.

Qiu Tu

Leading the charge into today's action is Qiu Tu, who starts the afternoon in a dominant position with 748,000 chips (94 big blinds) after an incredible performance to end the last flight.

He is closely pursued by Yuzhi Shen, who sits in second place with a healthy stack of 688,000 (86 big blinds), while Ming Huang rounds out the top three with 617,000 (77 big blinds).

Lei Yu

While the chip leaders hold the tactical advantage, the headline story of the day features elite international superstar Lei Yu. Headlining the field as the most notable contender remaining, the WSOP bracelet winner and high-stakes crusher brings massive experience to the tables and remains a major threat to steal the spotlight as the fields merge.

Yu isn't the only dangerous name lurking in the pack, as the field is stacked with battle-tested notables looking to make a run. Keep a close eye on Xiaosheng Zheng (473,000), Patrick Liang (300,000), and international threat Mikael Daniel Andersson (261,000), all of whom hold plenty of chips to build a championship stack.

Levels will be 40 minutes long, giving players room to maneuver but ensuring the action stays fast-paced and competitive. There will be no stopping, no bagging up for another day, and no breaks in the action until the last card is dealt and a champion lifts the trophy.

The players are in their seats, the new seat draw is complete, and the cards are in the air.

Stay tuned right here for live updates as the field play all the way down to a winner at MGM Cotai!
