JEJU, SOUTH KOREA, October 5, 2025– After three starting flights and a stacked field of 254 entries, the Ultra Stack reached its thrilling conclusion on the final day of the APT Jeju 2025 festival. The two-day event, featuring a 100,000-chip starting stack, generated a prize pool of KRW 179,200,000. Only 37 players advanced to the Final Day — all guaranteed a payout — but it was Zhonghuan Dai from Singapore who outlasted them all to claim the title and the trophy in style.

Dai, who had already recorded one other cash earlier in the series, showed composure and precision throughout Final Day's play. The Singaporean’s victory not only earned him KRW 35,850,454 (~USD 25,753) but also more than doubled his total live career earnings, enough for his best-ever live cash and a defining mark in his tournament career.

Taiwan’s Hua Wei Lin, one half of the Natural8-sponsored “WinPokerCouple” and with over USD 600,000 in live earnings, came close to adding a fourth APT title to her poker career. She fought valiantly throughout the late stages and reached heads-up play before falling just short, securing a commendable second-place finish worth KRW 23,890,000 (~USD 17,151).

China’s Yun Long Jin also made a strong impression, finishing third for KRW 17,470,000 (~USD 12,546). Meanwhile, Yanlin Wu, who started the Final Day as the overall chip leader, finished in fifth place for KRW 11,040,000 (~USD 7,927) — a strong showing despite narrowly missing out on a podium finish.
