It's 'Shuffle Up & Deal' time for Flight B of the APT Jeju 2026 Main Event. Cards are in the air and play is underway.

Stay tuned for all the action from the floor.

The KRW 2,700,000 (~USD 1,850) buy-in APT Jeju Main Event continues today with Flight B, giving players another opportunity to secure their place in Day 2 in the series' premiere tournament.

Yesterday, Flight A drew 297 entries, with 96 players bagging up chips at the end of the day. China's Xiubo Li emerged as the overall chip leader with 381,000, followed by Dmitrii Belikov with 306,100 and Timothy Chung with 300,900. Chung's run was particularly notable after he dropped to just 33,500 chips early in the day before mounting a comeback to finish with a podium spot.

The opening flight also saw several familiar faces advance, including Lee Wee Liew, who returned to the tables shortly after winning the APT Jeju National Cup for KRW 70,334,000 (~USD 51,900). Fan favorite Ren Lin also made it through with 125,400 after firing multiple bullets and will be looking to continue to recent success in APT events, which includes victories in both the Superstar Challenge and Super High Roller at the Jeju Classic earlier this year.

Flight B gets underway at 11:00 a.m. and, as with all the starting flights, players will begin with 40,000 in chips. Unlike Flight A, however, Flight B features 45-minute levels until Level 7, at which point they will revert to 60 minutes each. Play will conclude after Level 10, with players receiving 15-minute breaks after every two levels. No dinner break is scheduled for Flight B.

With two more starting flights still to come after Flight B, there is plenty of time for the Main Event field to take shape. Who will join Li and the other Flight A survivors into Day 2? To find out, follow the APT blog as the Jeju Main Event continues at LES A Casino.
