APT Championship Logs Record Diversity on the Felt in Day 6 Highlights

Record-setting fields continue to be the running theme at the APT Championship 2025 , and Day 6 was no exception. The inaugural Ultra Stack Championship took centre stage inside Red Space, bringing together one of the most diverse fields the tour has ever seen. With 49 countries and regions represented across nearly two thousand entries, the event added yet another milestone to a festival that seems determined to raise the bar every single day.

Two Championship Events reached their finales, with both the Ultra Stack and the PLO Championship awarding their coveted Lion trophies. As those wrapped up, a fresh wave of players poured into the Natural8 Cup Championship Freezeout, which kicked off its opening day with a strong early turnout. The momentum inside the venue remains unmistakable, helped by APT’s continued partnership with the Chinese Texas Hold’em Poker Club .

The Ultra Stack Championship was the first to play down to a winner, drawing an enormous 1,867-entry field and building a prize pool of over TWD 40 million. A total of 260 players returned for the final day. Korea’s Gyeongbyeong Lee emerged at the top, defeating Thailand’s Wutikrai Phraikhieo heads-up to secure his maiden APT title, the sixth Lion trophy of the series, and TWD 6,917,200 in prize money along with an APTC Main Event ticket worth TWD 311,000 (USD 10,000).

The TWD 100,000 PLO Championship delivered another marquee moment of the festival, drawing 88 entries and setting a new APT record as the richest Omaha event ever held on tour. Malaysia’s Andrew Teoh navigated the tough field to claim his first APT Championship title and the Pewter Lion trophy, earning TWD 1,995,700 (USD 64,380) from the TWD 7,603,200 prize pool. He began the Final Day as chip leader, dipped to ten to fifteen blinds near the money, then rebuilt steadily to reach the final table.

The field may have been small, but it was stacked with accomplished players. Big names such as Erik Seidel, Michael Wang, Joseph Cheong and Christian Harder all took their shots in the Championship but fell before the late stages. Teoh’s composure and consistency throughout the day proved decisive, especially against a field of that calibre.

Heads-up, Teoh faced Switzerland’s Fabian Rolli, who started with a slight chip lead and quickly pulled out to nearly a 3:1 advantage after hitting the nuts and forcing Teoh to fold. Teoh fought back, taking three streets of value after flopping a flush and then hitting another flush on the turn a few hands later to score a massive double up that left Rolli short.

The final hand saw Rolli get his money in preflop with the best hand and flop a dominating ace. Fortune, however, favoured Teoh: the turn delivered an unlikely wheel, leaving Rolli drawing dead and giving Teoh the biggest victory of his career.
