Abraham Ceesvin Leads the Pack Going into Day 3 of 2025 APT Incheon Main Event

Level 18: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Abraham Ceesvin

After a relatively short bubble period in the 2025 APT Incheon Main Event, 191 players have locked up a payout and secured their spots in Day 3. While all will be guaranteed a min-cash, they'll have their minds focussed on claiming the lion's share of the impressive KRW 2.7BN prize pool.

Leading the field is Singapore’s Abraham Ceesvin, who finished Day 2 with an impressive 954,000 chips. Hot on Ceesvin’s heels is Japan’s Shuzo Sekine with 867,000 chips followed closely by his compatriot Kazuhiro Shirasawa with 792,000 who rounds out the top three.

Kazuhiro Shirasawa

Ceesvin has just under $800,000 in live earnings and three APT Main Event Final Tables on his resume, his best being a runner-up finish in APT Taipei Poker Classic 2024 Main Event.

Also sitting in the top ten and not too far behind the leaders is Tomoyuki Yoshimiya who picked up a monster pot late in the day against Haibo Yang.

British player and APT Taipei Zodiac Event winner, Jun Li, who has over $700,000 in live earnings is in the mix sitting in sixth spot with 673,000 chips.

Jian Han sits in fifth spot with 717,000 chips after picking up a massive pot when his kings held against Tattana Pengduen’s King-Queen.

Poseidon Ho is still making waves and in the mix with 255,000 chips.

A special mention must go out to former APT head of live poker operations Lloyd Fontillas (463,000) who shows he can play as well as officiate.

Korea National Cup opening event winner Kevin Choi bagged up 544,000 chips along with his Hong Kong compatriot Jason Chau (537,000).

Start-of-day chip leader Chi Hsiang Chiu (400,000) has made it through to Day 3 along with Flight D frontrunner Dongying Ling (354,000).

All remaining players are guaranteed a minimum pay-out of KRW 3,760,000(~$2,700) but all will be eyeing up the first-place prize of KRW 483,700,000 (~$261,680).

Day 3 resumes at 11:15am local time and play will start at Level 18 through 10 levels or until the field is reduced to 48 players — whichever comes first.

Bubble Bursts for Nakayama on Clubby Turn

Level 18: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Daito Yamashita & Takumi Nakayama

On the direct bubble, Takumi Nakayama open-shoved from under the gun for 97,000. Daito Yamashita put in the call in the big blind.

Takumi Nakayama: A♥ J♥

Daito Yamashita: 5♣ 5♦

It was a classic coinflip, and Nakayama still had a chance to score a double-up.

The dealer delivered a monochrome 8♣ T♣ 4♣ flop, no help for Nakayama and giving Yamashita a flush draw.

On the very next street, the deck answered who would be the bubble boy as another club 9♣ jumped in on the turn, leaving Nakayama drawing dead.

The K♦ came only to fill out the board and officially ship the pot Yamashita’s way.

Xiaqing Ji

With the money bubble looming, the big stacks have started turning up the heat. In this hand, it folded around to Selim Oulmekki on the button, who opened the action. Xiaqing Ji, seated in the small blind, responded with a three-bet to 35,000. Oulmekki made the call to see a flop.

The dealer spread a board of Q♣ 5♦ 4♥, and Ji continued with a down-sized c-bet of 16,000. Oulmekki came along.

The turn brought the J♥, and Ji kept the pressure on, firing 35,000 into the middle. This second barrel was enough to push Oulmekki out of the pot, as Ji chipped up without showdown—textbook bubble play.

Level 17: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

The hand kicked off with an early-position open from Tsan Li. Jinqi Wang flatted from middle position, before Jian Han applied pressure with a squeeze to 36,000. Tattana Pengduen on the button cold-called the three-bet, and Li came along as well, sending four players to the flop.

The dealer fanned out Q♣ J♣ 6♠, and after it was checked around to Pengduen, the Thai player put out a sizable bet of 62,000. Li folded quickly, but Wang went deep into the tank.

After nearly a minute of thought, Wang shoved all-in, barely covering Pengduen's remaining stack of 280,000. Pengduen made the call, setting up one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far.

Tattana Pengduen: K♦ Q♦

Jian Han: K♠ K♥

Great spot for Han to scoop a massive pot. The T♦ on the turn gave some hope for chop out for the Thai player, but the 5♦ on the river sealed his fate.

Chen Celebrates Prematurely; Gets Knocked Out by Xu

Level 16: 2,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Hang Xu

Cheng Chen raised to 10,000 from the button, then faced a 40,000 three-bet from Hang Xu in the big blind; Chen then four-bet to 100,000 which Xu called.

Xu checked the 4♣ A♦ 5♦ flop and Chen stuck the remainder of his stack in the middle, around 130,000. Xu thought on it for a moment before ultimately tossing in for the call:

Cheng Chen: Q♦ 9♦

Hang Xu: A♠ J♠

Xu was ahead and when the A♦ came on the turn, he looked certain to knock out Chen. The J♦ came on the river and Chen began to celebrate - assuming he'd won with a flush - but was then notified that Xu had made a full house and that his tournament run was over.

The hand began with a middle-position open to 8,000 by Japanese player Keigo Kotani, and four players behind him came along to see a flop.

The dealer fanned out T♦ 3♣ 3♠, and action checked to How Yee in the small blind, who led out for 5,000 into four opponents. The big blind got out of the way, but the other three called.

The turn brought the 2♦, and Yee continued his aggression with a bet of 15,000. Kotani let his hand go, but both Dongying Ling and Matsuzawa Masaru stuck around.

The 8♦ completed the board on the river, and Yee led out once again—this time for a small sizing of 5,000. That wasn’t enough for Ling, who bumped it up to 25,000. Masaru surprisingly made the call, and Yee tossed in the remaining 20,000 chips to call as well.

Ling turned over K♦ Q♦ for the king-high flush, which was enough to scoop the sizable pot.

The action began with an early-position open from Kota Abe, followed by a flat call from Kai Tan. Ledong Zhou, seated directly behind them, decided to squeeze, making it 16,000 to go. Abe quickly folded, but Tan stuck around with a call.

The flop came down K♠ K♦ 5♦, and Tan took the lead with an aggressive bet of 35,000. Zhou responded by moving all-in for 60,400 total. Sensing trouble, Tan went deep into the tank, aware that the situation didn’t look great. Still, getting such a good price, he ultimately made the call.

Ledong Zhou: A♣ K♣

Kai Tan: 7♠ 7♥

The board ran out 8♥ 6♠ giving Zhou an easy double-up.

Ji Pressures Lau

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Jason Lau raised to 4,000 from the hijack and Xiaqing Ji defended from the big blind.

Action was cautious as both players checked the 3♣ T♠ 4♣ flop.

On the A♣ turn, Ji led out for 2,500, which Lau called.

A second barrel of 20,000 following the T♥ river from Ji proved too much for Lau who let the hand go.

Kazuo Yamamoto raised to 4,000 from the button but faced a three-bet shove from Takugen Kamegawa in the big blind to the tune of around 22,000.

After burning through a couple of timebanks, Kamegawa eventually tossed in the call:

Takugen Kamegawa: K♣ T♣

APT Incheon Main Event Day 2: The Race for History Is On

The sounds of “Shuffle up and deal!”, “All in!”, “Raise!” and “Floor!” are set to rise once again inside Paradise City Casino as the felts are prepared for the grandest KRW 2,500,000 APT Incheon Main Event – Day 2. This tournament has already made history, setting a new benchmark as the richest APT Main Event ever held in Korea.

With registration still open until the start of Day 2, the turnout is expected to surge even further. So far, a total of 1,200 entries have been recorded across the four Day 1 flights, surpassing the previous all-time Korean record set during APT Jeju 2024.

After navigating ten grueling levels on Day 1, a total of 431 survivors will reunite at the venue for the first time today. They’ll be joined by new entrants as all contenders perform a fierce showdown — armed with wit, grit, and instinct — in pursuit of the ultimate glory. Each one is vying for a place in the APT history books.

He’ll be looking to capitalize on his commanding lead as he pursues his first APT title. Close behind is Japan’s Shuzo Sekine with 307,300, followed by his compatriot Ryohei Shibuya, who ended Day 1 with 306,700. Both players are also aiming for their maiden APT trophies.
