Joseph Cheong

Action folded around to Joseph Cheong in the cutoff who raised to 3,000 and was looked up by Chun Kit Kwan in the big blind.

The flop came T A 5 and the action went check-check as it did on the 2 turn. It was rinse and repeat on the 4 river, and Cheong was pushed the pot with his K J , crushing Kwan's J 7 .

Yita Choong

Heads-up on a flop of Q 6 9 with over 30,000 already in the middle, Sho Homma bet 12,000 from the small blind and Yita Choong called in the big blind.

Homma slowed down and checked on the 8 turn, prompting a hefty 50,000 bet from Yoong. Homma wanted nothing to do with it and laid his hand down, conceding the pot to Choong.

Sean Ooi opened to 2,500 on the button and was called by Chun Kit Kwan in the big blind for a heads-up pot.

Kwan check-called a 3,000 bet from Ooi on the J 6 7 flop and then led out for 4,000 after the 7 paired the board on the turn. Ooi responded by raising to 10,000 and Kwan called.

The J double-paired the board on the river and both players checked. Chun revealed J 9 for a full house and Ooi flung his cards into the muck.

Sho Homma

Action folded to Stanley Weng in the cutoff who made it 3,000 to play only for Sho Homma sat in the big blind, to three-bet to 15,000.

Weng made the call, and the dealer flipped over the flop of 6 2 6 . Homma continued for 15,000, and Weng made the call for the players to see the 9 peel off on the turn.

Homma fired off a second bullet of 30,000 and Weng made the call.

The river brought the 9 to complete the board, and after tanking for a while, Homma moved all in and had Weng covered. Weng thought for a while and mucked his cards to send the pot to Homma with no showdown.

Sean Ooi

Haruhiki Shinohara opened to 2,000 on the button and Sean Ooi defended his big blind.

Ooi check-called a 2,000 bet from Shinohara on the 2 A 5 flop and then both players checked on the 9 turn.

The 3 completed the board and Ooi cut out of an overbet of 13,000 and placed it into the middle. Shinohara tanked a bit, but eventually decided to lay his hand down.

Yee Wen

Michael Molenaar opened to 2,500 from under the gun and found a call from Yee Wen in the next seat. Action folded to Yaoyu He in the small blind, who raised to 15,000.

Molenaar got out of the way quickly and Wen made the call.

On the 8 2 7 flop, He continued for 15,000, and Wen called.

The players checked down the J turn and 7 river, with Wen tabling T T , which had He's A 2 crushed and Wen was shipped the pot.

Cards are in the air for Day 1 of the APT Jeju Super High Roller.

Stay tuned for all the action from the floor as it unfolds.

With APT Jeju now fully underway at LES A Casino, one of its marquee events is ready to take center stage. The KRW 15,000,000 (~USD 10,300) buy-in APT Super High Roller begins today, with a KRW 500,000,000 guaranteed prize pool and the prestigious Pewter Lion Trophy up for grabs.

In the last APT Super High Roller held in Jeju, Ren Lin staged a stunning comeback from just two big blinds to ultimately top the 115-entry field and claim the KRW 396,317,500 (~USD 275,220) top prize. With several players already pre-registered and plenty of high-stakes regulars expected to join the fray, another fiercely contested Super High Roller could be in store.

Players will begin with 250,000 in chips, with blinds starting at 500/1,000 and a 1,000 big blind ante. Levels will last 40 minutes throughout Day 1, with registration remaining open until the start of Level 12 (approximately 8:35 p.m.) Those who make it through the opening day will return at 11:15 a.m. on Sunday, September 27, when the tournament will play down to a champion. In addition to the prize money and trophy, the winner will receive a seat worth approximately USD 10,000 into November's APT Championship Main Event in Taipei.

The Super High Roller is just one of several major events taking place as the 13-day festival gathers momentum. The APT National Cup will crown its champion today, while the Mystery Bounty Hunter begins its three starting flights, offering players another chance to compete for a share of its KRW 400,000,000 guarantee. The KRW 2.2 billion guaranteed APT Main Event is also just around the corner, with its first starting flight scheduled for Sunday.
