KPC Main Event Final Table Set as Ryuta Nakai Leads King's 60K Super High Roller
Two marathon bubbles played out on Day 6 of the KPC Poker October Series on Thursday, October 15, as the Main Event and 60K Super High Roller reached critical junctures at the LES A Casino in Jeju, South Korea.
The KPC Main Event reached its final table after Huixiang Xia fell in 10th, with KRW 171,873,000 (~USD 128,070) waiting for the champion. Ryuta Nakai leads the final nine of the King's 60K Super High Roller, where USD 1,046,600 is up for grabs for the winner.
KPC Main Event Final Table Set
The KRW 1,300,000 (~USD 969) Main Event paid 125 places from its KRW 1,215,303,000 (~USD 905,600) prize pool, with every player in the money guaranteed at least KRW 2,300,000 (~USD 1,710).
The final table bubble lasted almost two hours before Xia, who led the field into Day 2, finally fell. His king-queen ran into pocket kings, and he left in 10th for KRW 15,900,000 (~USD 11,850).
Teo Ravn finished 11th, while Martin Sedlak (20th), Maxim Lykov (38th), Tom Verbruggen (53rd), King's Debut champion Yan Wen Yee (76th) and Michel Molenaar (105th) were among the other notable names to cash.
Peng Huang leads the final nine with 6,795,000, ahead of Yilong Wang (5,870,000) and Colombia's Sebastian Camilo Toro Henao (5,490,000). Day 1A chip leader Yue Mou returns with 975,000, while Yirui Zhang is the shortest stack on 730,000.

Nakai Leads King's 60K Super High Roller Final Table
Late registration on Day 2 took the USD 60,000 buy-in King's 60K Super High Roller to 66 entries and a USD 3,706,600 prize pool, with 10 places paid.
Punnat Punsri fell in 14th when his ace-jack of hearts failed to improve against Calvin Lee's pocket tens despite a two-heart flop. Daniel Neilson followed shortly before the money when his pocket nines ran into Fabian Gumz's queen-jack, with a queen in the window.
The bubble then stretched past an hour before Winfred Yu became the unlucky casualty. Winfred Yu got it in with king-four offsuit against Mehdi Chaoui's ace-five, and an ace on the flop all but settled it in 11th.
Gumz was the last player out before the final table, collecting USD 120,000 for 10th. Hugues Girard returns as the shortest stack with just 175,000, while Chaoui, Ethan Yau and Day 1 chip leader Manuel Martin Fritz are all in contention.
