The updated listings provide a full breakdown of payouts, finishing positions, and career-earning impacts following the series.

With the Hendon Mob records now confirmed across both the KPC x LPT festival results and the King Poker Cup series listings, the debut edition officially enters the historical archive, marking another milestone for the Jeju high-stakes scene while giving players a permanent record of their performances.

Winner Interviews and King Poker Cup YouTube Coverage

Building on that momentum, the King Poker Cup team has also begun rolling out a series of winner interviews on its official YouTube channel, giving fans a closer look at the personalities behind the results now recorded in the database. Several champions have already shared their reactions from Jeju, adding context to the numbers and final standings that now sit permanently on The Hendon Mob.

Interviews from events #S1, #S2, #S3, and #S4 are already live, including the sit-down with King’s Main Event champion Lin, whose victory headline performance anchored the festival. The organizers have confirmed that the #S5 winner interview is scheduled to be released shortly, continuing the series’ push to document the inaugural edition both on and off the felt.

Ren Lin’s interview is embedded above, and readers can explore the full lineup of champion interviews directly through the King Poker Cup YouTube channel, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the players who shaped one of Jeju’s most notable high buy-in festivals.
