APT Main Event (2,500,000 KRW)

The final opening flight of the APT Incheon 2025 Main Event has entered the history books, with Singapore's Dongying Ling topping the board at 239,500 chips. A total of 192 entries (156 unique) were recorded, and only 95 players successfully advanced to Day 2.

After four thrilling opening flights, the entry number climbed to 1,200 from the four opening flights, with numbers expected to grow as registration remains open just right until before Day 2 begins. This marks this tournament already as the Asian Poker Tour's largest and richest Korean-based Main Event. A total of 431 players bagged up chips from the flights and will come back tomorrow at 11pm to play until the money has been reached.

Closely following Ling in chips is Japan national Takumi Bando. He finished the day with a strong stack of 230,300. Selim Oulmekki completed flight D's podium with 201,600 chips. Other notables to make it through the final flight of the Main event include Singapore's Yeow Chung Chong (157,600) Thailand's Phachara Wongwichit (111,100), and Joris Michl (68,200).

And that's it. All starting flights for the APT Incheon 2025 Main Event have been completed. A full recap of Day 1D will be published here shortly.

With only a few hands left to play in the flight, Hideo Sawai opened from early position and was immediately three-bet to 10,000 by Shinji Tanaka on his direct left. Sawai made the call, and the two went heads-up to the flop.

The dealer spread out A♦ K♣ J♦, and Tanaka continued his line with a 10,000-chip continuation bet. Sawai didn’t back down just yet and made the call.

The turn brought the 6♠, and after Sawai checked, Tanaka turned up the pressure with a sizable 25,000-chip bet. That was enough to get the fold and secure a late pot to end his day on a strong note.

Susumu Wakamiya opened to 2,700 from middle position and Dongying Lin called from the hijack.

Wakamiya checked on the 9♠ J♣ 7♦ flop, and Ling led out for 4,100. Wakamiya check-called.

After seeing the 9♥ turn, Wakamiya check-called again to the bet of 6,000 from Ling.

The 3♠ filled out the board and Wakamiya checked. Ling sent his third barrel of 10,000. Wakamiya came along.

Ling tabled K♦ J♦ to best Wakamiya's Q♣ J♠.

Susumu Wakamiya opened the cutoff to 2,800 and got himself two callers: Dongying Ling on the button, and Phachara Wongwichit in the small blind.

On the flop of J♥ 8♥ 2♣, Wongwichit checked to Wakamiya, who bet 3,000. Only Ling stuck around.

When the K♦ hit on the turn, Wongwichit fired out 8,500, which got the job done as Ling laid it down.

We picked up the action on the turn with Yaxiong Xu on the button betting 4,000 into a pot of 8,800. His opponent, Satoru Inoue in the small blind, responded with a raise to 16,000. Xu thought it over and made the call.

The river completed the board: 9♥ 8♥ 8♦ Q♦ K♦

Inoue didn't slow down and moved all-in for 31,000. The shove put Xu in a tough spot. After burning his final time bank, he decided to lay it down. Inoue was kind enough to show J♥ T♥.

With around 12,000 chips in the pot, a board ran out 8♠ 8♦ 7♥ K♥ Q♠. Hideo Sawai bet 7,000 from the big blind after tanking for a long time. Takumi Bando stuck around from middle position.

Hideo Sawai revealed J♥ 9♥, and it wasn’t enough against the Bando’s winner holding J♠ J♣, shipping the pot Bando’s way.

Mitsuo Zushi raised to 3,000 from under the gun and got three calls; Shunichi Okamoto in middle position, Zhen Cui in the small blind and Ianis Mozhelis in the big blind, and they headed four-ways to the flop.

The dealer fanned 5♥ 6♠ 4♣ and Cui checked; Mozhelis put out a 5,000 bet which got folds from Zushi and Cui, only Okamoto made the call.

Action slowed on the J♦ turn, and when the 7♦ completed the board Mozhelis fired off a further 10,000 into the middle. After a moment of deliberation Okamoto slid his cards into the middle and Mozhelis was pushed the pot.

Vladimir Khodov opened the action from late position and picked up two callers: Taishi Ishibuchi on the button and Zhili Zhou in the big blind.

The flop came down Q♠ 8♠ 2♥ and after it was checked to the button, Ishibuchi fired out a bet of 2,200. Both opponents made the call.

The Q♥ on the turn paired the board, and Ishibuchi continued the aggression with a bet of 8,000. Zhou folded, but Khodov responded with a raise to 30,000. Ishibuchi quickly moved all-in for just slightly more, and Khodov made the call.

Taishi Ishibuchi: Q♦ T♣

Vladimir Khodov: A♠ 8♣

Ishibuchi's trip's on the turn had locked him up a double-up.

Yasuhiro Yamamoto made it 2,500 to go from early position, only to be jammed by Takahiro Kidokoro from the hijack for 20,000. Yamamoto dropped in the call.

Yasuhiro Yamamoto: 3♣ 3♦

Takahiro Kidokoro: Q♣ Q♥

Kidokoro was ahead with his pocket queens and improved to a full house on the flop of T♣ T♠ Q♠, leaving Yamamoto drawing thin.

The runout came K♥ K♣, sealing a double-up for Kidokoro.

The hand began with Wataru Kosugi opening from middle position, finding two callers in Yoichi Hayashi in late position and the big blind.

The flop came 9♠ 8♠ 7♦, and Kosugi continued with a bet of 4,000. Both opponents called. The 4♠ on the turn completed the potential flush draw, and Kosugi kept up the pressure with a bet of 13,000. This time, only Hayashi came along.

The river brought the 8♣, pairing the board, and Kosugi moved all-in. Hayashi went into the tank, but ultimately decided he couldn’t fold his hand.

Yoichi Hayashi: J♣ T♥

Wataru Kosugi: J♠ 6♠

Hayashi had flopped the nut straight, but Kosugi's turned flush held up — sending Hayashi to the rail.

Ho Chuen Lo opened the hijack to 2,500 and Ting Yi Tsai three-bet to 8,500 from the small blind. Lo then shoved all in for 18,000. Tsai called to put his opponent at risk.

Ho Chuen Lo: 7♦ 7♠

Ting Yi Tsai: 8♥ 8♦

Lo was on the edge of elimination and couldn't get any help from the board of K♣ 9♦ T♦ 9♥ A♦, sending him out of the door in the second-to-last level of the day.

Yusuke Nomura raised to 2,500 from middle position and received a call from Yuta Oba on the button, then a three-bet to 11,000 from Ariyasu Nobuhiro in the big blind. Only Oba made the call.

Ariyasu led out for 2,500 on the 2♠ 4♥ 6♣ flop, with Oba making the call.

Action slowed down during the rest of the T♠ 5♥ runout, with Oba flipped over 8♦ 8♠ for pocket eights, beating Nobuhiro's ace overcard.

Tetsuro Tomita made it 3,000 to go from early position and received calls from the blinds: Shunichi Okamoto and Lloyd Fontillas.

On the monotone flop of J♠ A♣ 7♣, the blinds checked to Tomita, who continued with a bet of 1,200. Only Fontillas stuck around.

Okamoto then checked on the board-pairing 7♥ turn, and Tomita sent another barrel of 8,300. Okamoto responded with a shove for around 192,000; however, this didn't deter Tomita from making the call with his remaining 14,500.

Shunichi Okamoto: K♣ 6♣

Tetsuro Tomita: 7♠ 7♦

Tomita was poised to take down the humongous pot as he got quad sevens from the board, leaving Okamoto drawing dead.

The dealer delivered a 4♠ river, officially shipping the pot Tomita's way.

Yuichi Sumida and Vladimir Khodov got it all in preflop, acting from the cutoff and button, respectively. Small blind Yasuhiro Yamamoto asked for a count of their stacks (15,000 & 9,300) before weighing up whether to get involved or not. Eventually he made the call and the three turned over their cards:

Vladimir Khodov: 7♦ 7♥

Yuichi Sumida: A♦ T♠

Yahushiro Yamomoto: Q♦ J♦

"Low cards!" Khodov exclaimed as the dealer semi-fulfilled his wish with 8♦ 3♠ 7♠, making a set for him.

A♠ the Q♠ came on the turn, giving Yamomoto a pair, Khodov was now wishing for low and red cards.

The 9♦ came on the river and Khodov secured his triple; Sumida was eliminated and the difference in stack size was sent Yamamoto's way.

Toru Wakamatsu opened from middle position, picking up three callers — Maito Komori on the button and both blinds.

The flop of 9♦ 6♣ 2♦ was checked to Wakamatsu, who continued for 4,000. Only Komori called.

The 6♥ on the turn saw Wakamatsu fire again, this time for 13,000. Komori responded with a shove worth 39,400 total. After some deliberation, Wakamatsu made the call, having his opponent covered.

Maito Komori: J♠ J♦

Toru Wakamatsu: K♠ 9♠

Maito Komori: J♠ J♦

Toru Wakamatsu: K♠ 9♠

The 6♦ did not improve Wakamatsu and Komori doubled up.

Zhili Zhou opened the action from middle position and was met with a three-bet by Takahiro Kidokoro sitting directly to his left. Zhou made the call, and the two went heads-up to the flop.

The dealer fanned out T♦ T♠ 3♦, and both players opted for a check. The turn brought the 4♠, and once again, neither player made a move.

The passive line ended on the river, when the J♥ appeared. Zhou took the opportunity to bet 9,200, and after some thought, Kidokoro tossed in a call.

Zhou tabled A♥ J♦ for a rivered top pair, enough to take down the pot as Kidokoro mucked his hand.

Takumi Bando opened the button to 2,300 and Atsushi Takeuchi called from the small blind.

Both players checked through a flop of 5♦ 7♦ 2♥ to see an 8♥ fall on the turn, where Takeuchi fired 2,500 and Bando called.

The river showed a board-pairing 8♣, and Takeuchi sent another bet of 9,000, which Bando sanp-called.

Without seeing Bando's hand, Takeuchi tossed his cards into the muck. Bando then tabled T♥ 8♠ for rivered trip eights.

Dongying Ling opened the hijack to 2,000 and Kyosuke Watanabe defended his big blind.

On the 3♠ T♥ 4♥ flop, Watanabe checked to Ling, who continued for 1,700. Watanabe called.

After seeing the J♥ turn, Watanabe check-called again to a bet of 4,000 from Ling.

When a board-pairing J♦ filled out the river, Watanabe check-called again to Lin's barrrel of 10,000.

Ling revealed Q♠ Q♣ for the pot and Watanabe mucked.

Dongying Ling raised to 2,100 from middle position and received a call from Edmond Chim on the button. Misaki Tanaka then shoved from the big blind for 12,600, which was called by Ling. Chim then re-shoved for around 70,000, which prompted Ling to let his hand go:

Misaki Tanaka: 3♣ 3♠

Edmond Chim: A♣ K♣

"Triple-up here" said a tablemate. The dealer flipped over 7♣ 5♣ 2♦ for the flop.

"Maybe not" they added.

The remainder of the 2♠ 6♦ runout did indeed triple Tanaka up, taking her back to starting stack levels.

Jun Lai raised to 2,100 from late position and faced a three-bet shove to the tune of 13,000 from Thanawat Nand in the small blind, to which Lai called and they flipped their cards:

Thanawat Nand: A♦ 7♦

Jun Lai: 7♥ 7♠

Nand saw the bad news as Lai revealed his hand, and the writing was well and truly on the wall (or the table) as the dealer turned over 6♣ 7♣ 2♠ for the flop. The 2♣ gave Lai a boat and the inconsequential 5♣ came on the river, and Nand was eliminated.

Batbayar Gankhuyag opened the cutoff to 2,000 and got himself three callers: Soichiro Hayashi on the button, Peng Zhou from the small blind, and Selim Oulmekki from the big blind.

On the flop of 3♣ A♣ 3♥, the blinds checked to Gankhuyag, who continued for 2,700. Only Hayashi called.

Gankhuyag sent another barrrel of 5,600 on the 2♠ turn, and Hayashi stuck around.

After seeing a board-pairing 2♥ hit on the river, Gankhuyag fired again, this time 10,300. It was hefty enough to force a fold from Hayashi.

And just like that the players are already at their second break of the flight. This will also be the final break, as after this 15-minute breather, only three more levels will be played, with registration still open until the end of these.

Tsun Kit Wong made it 1,600 to go from the hijack, only to be three-bet to 3,700 by Yusuke Nomura on the button. Wong called.

Both players checked through the 3♦ 5♥ Q♦ flop to see the 4♦ turn, where was another check round.

When the board-pairing Q♥ filled out the board, Wong sent a bet of 2,000. Nomura called to take it to a showdown.

Wong revealed K♥ 8♥ for king-high, but it wasn't enough to best ace-high from Nomura's A♣ K♣.

Ben Soon Yung Loo raised to 2,000 from the cutoff, followed by a call from Yuki Matsui in the small blind and a three-bet to 6,500 from Yuki Matsui in the big. Only Loo made the call.

Both players checked the K♦ 7♣ K♣ flop.

Yagi led out for 9,500 when the K♠ landed on the turn, and Loo couldn't bring himself to call and reluctantly threw his cards while Yagi raked the pot.

The hand began with Gongpyeong Kim opening from early position, only to face a three-bet from Ming Jiang a few seats over. Kim made the call, taking them heads-up to a flop of 6♣ 4♦ 2♣.

Both players opted to check, and the K♠ hit the turn. Kim checked again, prompting a delayed continuation bet of 2,700 from Jiang. Kim called without much hesitation.

The 4♣ completed the board on the river. After another check from Kim, Jiang sized up to 7,700. Kim burned a time bank before announcing all-in for his remaining 25,000 chips.

Jiang paused briefly but ultimately tossed his hand into the muck, conceding the pot to Kim’s well-timed river aggression.

One three-way all-in pot just played out, ending with one elimination and a chop.

Batbayar Gankhuyag raised to 1,600 from middle position, only to be jammed by Tatsuya Kyogoku for 12,500. Nattamon Kaweesorasak also moved all in for 59,700. The action went back to Gankhuyag, who took only a few seconds to respond with another shove for 15,100.

Tatsuya Kyogoku: A♦ Q♦

Batbayar Gankhuyag: A♣ K♣

Nattamon Kaweesorasak: A♥ K♦

Kyogoku's ace-queen ran into ace-king from both of his opponents. A dry board swiftly ran out 4♥ 2♠ J♠ 6♥ 9♠, sending Kyogoku out of the door and leaving a chop pot for Gankhuyag and Kaweesorasak.

Wai Choi opened from early position and found three callers, taking four players to the flop.

The board came down 8♠ 4♦ 3♥, and all four players checked through. The passive line continued on the T♣ turn — again, no bets.

However, the river brought another 8♥, and Tsuyoshi Ikeda in the big blind finally broke the silence, firing 2,500 into the pot. Both Chun Ma and Tomokatsu Kumano made the call.

Ikeda turned over 8♦ 6♦ for rivered trips, which was enough to drag the pot as neither opponent could beat it.

Action folded around to Tetsuro Tomita, who raised to 1,600 from the hijack, and found a lone caller in Kenichiro Murai on the button.

Tomita continued following the J♥ Q♣ 5♠ flop, this time for 1,700, which was promptly called by Murai.

The dealer flipped over the turn, the K♥, and Tomita fired off 3,800. This proved too much for Murai who slid his cards back to the dealer.

The action kicked off with Xiaoyi Wang opening from middle position, picking up a single caller in Hiroki Yamada on the button.

The flop came down K♥ 9♠ 6♦, and Wang fired a continuation bet of 1,800. Yamada called without much hesitation.

On the A♥ turn, Wang kept up the pressure with a 5,500-chip bet, again getting a call.

The river paired the board with the 9♥, and Wang bet once more — this time for 7,000. That’s when Yamada sprung into action, moving all-in for 24,000. The shove sent Wang deep into the tank, but after some thought, he made the call.

Hiroki Yamada: 7♥ 6♥

Xiaoyi Wang: A♣ Q♣

Yamada had gone runner-runner to complete a flush, cracking Wang’s top pair and scoring a double-up. Wang, meanwhile, was left stunned by the turn of events.

Selim Oulmekki opened with an 1,800 raise from middle position, only to be three-bet shoved by Kakuta Iwazaki on the button. Oulmekki sat for a moment before chucking a single 5,000 chip in for the call:

Kakuta Iwazaki: K♠ K♥

Selim Oulmekki: J♥ J♦

Oulmekki was behind from the off and was looking like he would double Iwazaki up; the 6♣ T♥ A♦ 2♦ 7♣ runout kept his kings ahead and he secured the double up.

Sergei Kim made it to go from middle position and Tatsuya Kyogoku called in the cutoff, as did Takeshi Kishi from the big blind.

On the flop of 7♣ 2♠ K♥, it checked to Kyogoku, who led out for 2,200. Only Kim dropped in the call.

When the turn carried out a board-pairing 2♥, Kim checked to Kyogoku, who fired 4,500. Kim stuck around.

The 5♥ filled out the board and it went check-check.

Kim tabled T♠ T♥ and it was good for the pot as Kim mucked his hand.

Action was picked up on a flop of 8♣ 2♠ 7♥, with Kohei Okada acting from the cutoff and Bo Jin from the big blind. Both players checked through once the dealer flipped the cards.

On the 3♠ turn, Jin slid 1,500 into the middle, to which Okada called.

The 7♣ came on the river and this time around, Jin bumped it up to 2,000. Okada asked for a count of Jin's stack before eventually tossing in a single chip for call.

Jin flipped over 6♣ 3♣ for middle pair, and Okada slid his cards into the muck.

Bo Jin limped in from the small blind and Miyamoto Kunihisa checked over from the big blind.

Both players checked through the board of 4♥ Q♥ 2♦ 9♦ 6♠ and took it to a free showdown.

Jin revealed T♦ 5♥, while Kunihisa tabled T♦ 4♠ for a flopped pair of fours and took down the pot.

Soichiro Hayashi raised to 14,000 from under the gun, called only by Ariyasu Nobuhiro in middle position.

Soichiro continued for a further 9,000 once the dealer flipped over the 7♠ 3♣ 5♥ flop. Nobuhiro made the call.

Soichiro then fired off an 18,000 bet; Nobuhiro responded in turn by moving all in for the remainder of their stack - around 20,000 - to which Soichiro couldn't find the call and let it go.

Zenya Yamamoto raised to 1,500 from under the gun and Shiji Tanaka defended his big blind.

Tanaka check-called to a bet of 2,000 from Yamamoto on the 2♠ 5♥ 2♥ flop to see the 4♠ fall on the turn, where Tanaka checked over. Yamamoto then responded with a shoved for 14,400. Yamamoto snap-called to put his countryman at risk.

Zenya Yamamoto: 9♣ 9♥

Shinji Tanaka: 7♥ 2♣

Yamamoto’s pocket nines were overshadowed by Tanaka’s flopped trip deuces, leaving his tournament life hanging by a thread.

Soon, the dealer delivered an A♦ on the river, sending Yamamoto to the rail.

We picked up the action on the turn with 21,000 already in the middle. The board read A♦ 8♥ 8♠ 4♥, and it was Chenglong Cui in the small blind up against Mitsuo Zushi in middle position. Both players opted to check the turn, sending the hand to the river.

The Q♦ completed the board, and Cui led out for a modest 7,000. Zushi took a moment to consider the price but ultimately slid his cards into the muck, allowing Cui to take down the pot without showdown.

It folded around to Chang Liu on the button, who opened it up, but got instantly three-bet by Ryuta Nakai next to him. Liu made the call and we were off to the flop.

This came down J♥ 7♠ 7♦, but action slowed down as both players checked their option. The turn was the 4♦ and the preflop three-better Nakai checked once more. Now Liu took a stab at the pot with a bet of 6,000. This was called by Nakai.

The K♥ completed the board, and once again both players checked. Nakai tabled over A♠ Q♦ for the winning hand. Liu showed A♦ 8♦ for a weaker ace-high.

Four levels have been played and the players are on their first 15-minute break.

The Japanese player Usui Sota opened up the action from early-position. Three players behind him made the call.

The flop came down 9♦ 7♥ 6♥ and the action got checked over to Tsun Wong on the button who bet out 1,200. Only Soichiro Hayashi in middle-position made the call.

The turn brought the J♠ and both players elected to check. The river was the Q♣ and Hayashi decided to go for some value and bet 1,800. Wong quickly called.

Soichiro Hayashi: J♦ T♠

Tsun Wong: Q♥ 9♥

We arrived at the table on the turn where a big pot was brewing between Batbayar Gankhuyag and Tatsuya Kyogoku, both sitting in late-position. There were 14,000 chips in the middle, and the board read A♠ 5♦ 3♦ 9♦. However, seemingly the third diamond must have scared the opponents as both players elected to check.

The river was the Q♠ and Gankhuyag bet out for an amount of 6,500. Kyogoku threw in the calling chips, but had to concede the pot, after Ganghuyag tabled over 4♠ 2♠ for a flopped straight.

Maito Komori from Japan opened it up from middle-position and got four other players interested in seeing a flop.

This came down A♣ K♦ 2♠, but none of the five players wanted to put any money into the pot, so the all checked it through to see a free turn.

This was another A♥ and again, everybody elected to check.

The 9♣ completed the board and Ming Jiang smelled weakness and tried to take down the pot with a bet of 2,500. Unfortunately for him, the original opener, Komori made the call and Jiang had to show his Q♠ 3♣ bluff. Komori revealed K♠ Q♠ to take down the pot.

It folded around to Yuicho Nakase on the button, who opened the action. Wai Choi defended his big blind with a three-bet, and Nakase made the call.

The flop came down Jc 8♣ 7♠, and Choi continued with a bet of 2,000. Nakase called.

On the 4♥ turn, both players slowed down and checked.

The river brought the 5♣, and once again, both players checked it through. Choi revealed A♣ K♠, but it wasn’t enough to beat Nakase’s A♠ J♠, who took down the pot with top pair.

The action started with a middle-position open to 600 by the Japanese player Horimoto Kosuke. Only Ngai Chim in the small-blind wanted to see a flop.

This came down Q♦ 9♠ 4♦. Chim checked, and Kosuke put out a 500 chips continuation bet. Chim made the call.

The turn was the K♣ and Kosuke once more bet out, this time for 1,000. Once more Chim made the call.

The river was the 3♥ and after Chim checked it once more over to Kosuke, he decided to slow down and check back to the displeasure of Chim who tabled over J♠ T♥ for a nut straight.

The hand began with an early-position raise by Roman Shcherbakov, which was quickly met with a three-bet from Yasuhiro Yamamoto on his direct left. Shcherbakov made the call, taking the two players to the flop.

The dealer spread Q♣ 6♦ 2♣, and after a check from Shcherbakov, Yamamoto continued with a bet of 1,200. The Russian made the call.

The 5♥ hit the turn, and this time Shcherbakov took control of the betting, firing 2,400. Yamamoto didn’t take long before calling once again.

On the T♣ river, Shcherbakov led out for a modest 2,000. Yamamoto instantly called — but he was in for a surprise. Shcherbakov turned over 2♦ 2♥ for a flopped set, which was enough to scoop the pot.

Late-position player Yuji Tsubo opened it up, and got three-bet small by the Hong Kongese Tsan Li next to him on the button. The Japanese player made the call and they went heads-up to the Q♠ 9♥ 6♥ flop.

On this Li continued with a bet of 600. His opponent made the call, and the turn brought the J♥. After Tsubo's check, Li continued his aggression with a bet of 1,200. His Japanese did not go anywhere and made the call.

The river was the 6♣ and this time Li decided it was enough value and checked back his K♠ K♦, which was good enough to beat Tsubo's J♦ T♠.

The Chinese national Xiaohui Wang opened from early-position, and Chun Lau defended his big-blind.

The flop came down A♦ T♥ 2♣ and Wang continued with a bet of 400. Lau made the call.

The turn was the J♣ Lau decided to slow down and check, Wang checked it back.

The river brought another A♥ and after action got checked again to Wang he bet out a biggish bet of 2,000. Lau thought about his decision for a moment before deciding on a call.

Wang tabled A♣ 9♥ and his trips won him the pot.
