Biggest Events by Prize Pool

The Kick Off Event still supplied the biggest field of the entire series by some distance, its 1,157 entries well clear of any other tournament on the schedule, even after QPC Autumn Elite emerged as a bigger earner in prize pool terms.

Festival Highlights

Wang Longfei Opens the Series With the Kick Off Event

China's Wang Longfei navigated the series' largest field of 1,157 entries to win the Kick Off Event for VND 1,320,530,000 (~$51,761), comfortably surpassing the tournament's VND 7 billion guarantee. He defeated fellow countryman Zhang Qilong heads-up, with South Korea's Baek Jihun completing the podium in third.

Kunal Patni Triumphs in the Super High Roller - Prestige

India's Kunal Patni started the final table with a commanding 3.8 million chip lead and never relinquished it, going on to win the Super High Roller - Prestige for VND 1,278,000,000 (~$50,000) with a quick heads-up victory over France's Nicolas Godard, who collected $33,300 as runner-up. It capped a strong overall festival for Patni, whose six cashes made him one of the series' most consistent performers.

Tom Verbruggen Wins the QPC Cup

The Netherlands' Tom Verbruggen topped the marquee QPC Cup's 632-entry field to win the title for VND 2.1 billion (~$79,850), comfortably clearing the event's VND 12 billion guarantee.

Chyhwan Oh Wins the QPC Autumn Main Event

South Korea's Chyhwan Oh capped the series by winning the VND 20 billion guaranteed Main Event for $155,135, the festival's top individual payout, defeating India's Arjun Agarwal for the title. Russia's Georgii Klenin finished third, with India's Sreekanth Narayanan in fourth and Vietnam's Trung Ha Nguyen in fifth. The 453-entry field comfortably cleared the tournament's guarantee.

Country Breakdown

Vietnam unsurprisingly led the way as the host nation, though China and India both produced significant prize money from smaller player counts.

Top 5 Countries by Total Prize

India's total is especially notable given just 18 ITMs produced $482,830, the highest average payout per cash of any country in the top five, driven largely by Patni's Super High Roller win and Arjun Agarwal's runner-up finish in the Main Event.

Game Types

QPC Autumn 2026 ran exclusively Texas Hold'em across all 111 tournaments, with no split-game or mixed events on the schedule.

Looking Ahead

QPC Autumn 2026 closed out an 11-day series in Hanoi with 88 events and a $3,563,310 prize pool, headlined by Chyhwan Oh's Main Event victory. The series drew players from 24 countries, a reminder of the international pull Hanoi has built as a poker destination since QPC's launch earlier this year.
