APT Jeju 2026 settled its eight-player Main Event final table on October 2. Jianfeng Sun finished ahead with 12,060,000 chips, followed by Steve Ng on 9,050,000 and Toby Joyce on 8,790,000. The final day was scheduled for October 3 at LES A Casino.
A double elimination sets the table
Play did not stop nine-handed. Kwang Chung Tan won the last pot of Day 4, eliminating Changliang Sun in ninth and Yi Heng Luo in tenth. The remaining eight therefore advanced directly to the final day.
The Main Event had 1,375 entries and a KRW 3,207,600,000 prize pool. The 47 players returning for Day 4 and the eight survivors describe specific stages; the entry total includes re-entries and is not a unique-player count.
The stacks heading into the final day
- Jianfeng Sun: 12,060,000.
- Steve Ng: 9,050,000.
- Toby Joyce: 8,790,000.
- Kwang Chung Tan: 6,750,000.
- Shuang Qiu: 5,750,000.
- Weimin Chen: 5,400,000.
- Jiawei Wan: 2,875,000.
- Erdun Xu: 2,590,000.
The official list included five players from China, two from Singapore and one from Ireland. The two shortest stacks were below three million, but these were starting resources for another day's play, not finishing positions.
Returning contenders get another chance
Sun was runner-up at the 2024 Jeju Main Event, while Shuang Qiu finished third at the 2025 edition. Both had reached the title race again. Ma Kaihong, the leader at the start of Day 4, finished nineteenth—a reminder that a lead at one checkpoint need not survive the next.
The October 2 report listed an original first prize of KRW 556,340,000, with APT Championship Main Event seats also available to the top three. That advertised payout must not replace the eventual deal-adjusted result. This report preserves the Day 4 snapshot; the October 3 report covers the finish.
Local reading context
This is the historical position at the end of Day 4 on October 2. The stacks and advertised payouts are not the final results of October 3.
