APT Incheon 2026 Closes With Records Across the Board
The Asian Poker Tour’s 2026 Incheon stop has officially come to an end after 10 days and 106 events at Paradise City.
And the numbers show just how successful the festival became.
The Main Event drew a record 1,393 entries, generating more than KRW 3 billion in prize money.
Hong Kong’s Stephen Pang eventually claimed the title for KRW 411.18 million after a three-way ICM deal.
But the Main Event was only one of many major stories.
Japan’s Tomoya Tsubouchi opened the festival with a record Korea National Cup victory.
Jeremy Chan finally broke his long heads-up losing streak in the Super High Roller.
Masatoshi Minowa captured his first major title in the Zodiac Classic.
Danny Tang completed his unique collection of three 2D Stealth Lion trophies.
Punnat Punsri won the prestigious Superstar Challenge for his seventh APT title.
And Toru Sakiyama defeated 1,427 entries to win the Mini Main Event.
APT CEO Fred Leung described the current poker environment as one of the most competitive periods he has experienced during his 18 years working in Asian poker.
Despite that competition, APT Incheon delivered another record-breaking series.
The tour now turns its attention to the next major stages of the 2026 season, including APT Jeju and the APT Championship in Taipei.
Incheon is over.
But the momentum behind Asian live poker shows no sign of slowing.
