Undoubtedly, Ace Poker League holds the title of the most popular poker brand in South Korea. The five-month hiatus since its last event in May only served to heighten the anticipation for their next event, and it became glaringly evident on opening day of APL Seoul, hosted at the Swiss Grand Hotel.

On October 3, 2023, the doors swung open to an immediate full house, setting the tone for another incredibly successful series. The Mini Main Event reached its 550-entry cap, the High Roller drew 274 entries, and the flagship Main Event experienced an explosive rush to the tables with an impressive turnout of 473 eager contenders. Here are Main Event results.
