APT Incheon 2026: A Record Festival With the Biggest Days Still to Come

APT Incheon 2026 has already established itself as one of the major poker festivals of the Asian summer.

The event is taking place at Paradise City Casino in Incheon from August 7–16 as part of the APT’s 20th-anniversary season.

The festival opened with the record-breaking Korea National Cup before Jeremy Chan claimed the Super High Roller title.

Then came the Main Event.

The ₩2.5 million Main Event attracted 1,393 entries, creating a ₩3 billion prize pool and setting a new record for international poker tournament participation in Incheon.

The event has also attracted some of the biggest names in Asian poker and international tournament poker.

Former APT champions, WSOP bracelet winners, high rollers, mixed-game specialists and recreational players have all found something on the schedule.

The Main Event’s current leader is Yuxuan Deng, while names such as Punnat Punsri remain in contention.

At the same time, the next wave of marquee events is already approaching.

The Zodiac Classic, Mini Main Event and APT High Roller are still ahead, meaning the festival has not yet reached its final chapter.

APT Incheon has already broken records.

Now, with several major tournaments still to come, the festival has an opportunity to finish even stronger.

For Asian poker, the action in Incheon is far from over.
