Wang Wins the First Titan Stack Daily

The first TWD 5,500 Titan Stack Daily drew 88 entries and offered a healthy overlay against its TWD 777,000 guarantee.
Shi Rong Wang came out on top, winning the final two all-ins heads-up against Chang Yu Lai to take the trophy and TWD 222,800, closing it out with king-queen against queen-ten on a jack-high board with barely a big blind to spare.
The final table featured a memorable triple knockout, chip leader Yu Heng Zhen holding pocket queens against Po Yi Liu’s pocket nines and Jaewon Kim’s pocket aces, spiking a queen to send three players out at once.

Titan Stack High Roller: Edenata and Man Advance

The TWD 110,000 Titan Stack High Roller played two flights, with Rudy Edenata an early front-runner after knocking out Fendy Kosasih and getting the better of Rene von Reden , the APT Main Event winner at this venue two years ago.
Kosasih fired again in the evening flight but ultimately busted, leaving Edenata to face Hong Kong’s Chi Shing Man on the final day for a share of the TWD 576,000 prize pool and the rose GOP gauntlet trophy.
Trophies Elsewhere on Day 1

Local CTP Club favourite Chia Yun Wu made plenty of noise in the TWD 7,700 5-Card PL Omaha Double Board Bomb Pot, but it was Yen Hu Chiu who took the trophy and TWD 39,860 after a heads-up deal.
Dutch veteran Rob Hollink won the TWD 16,500 Midday Mid-Stakes for TWD 108,000, beating Taiwan’s Sheng Ju Shih heads-up.

Kai Hung Hu took the TWD 19,800 Hyper Turbo High Roller for TWD 86,400, and Japan’s Kengo Ito topped 24 entries in the TWD 3,500 Hyper Turbo for TWD 30,320.
Accumulator Flight A
The first of seven flights in the TWD 3,000,000 guaranteed GOP Accumulator drew 34 entries, with the top five bagging chips to carry forward. Takahiro Baba led the way.
Flight A Survivors
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count |

Any of these five who enter a later flight and bag up will add to their total and bank a TWD 25,000 bonus each time. The Accumulator final day is September 24.
Tuesday’s Schedule: September 19, 2026
