Iat Man Leong

Hand 147 Akira Takasugi shoved from the button, and Iat Man Leong called off his last 11,000,000 from the big blind. With the cards turned over, Takasugi had the opportunity to clinch the title.

Iat Man Leong: Q 2

Akira Takasugi: K 6

Takasugi was ahead with king-high, needing only a clean runout from the dealer to be crowned the champion.

The flop came K T Q , giving both players a pair. Takasugi remained in front with top pair, but Leong still had outs.

The turn brought the 8 , changing nothing. Takasugi was now just one card away from sealing the win in the biggest APT Main Event in history.

The river fell the 4 —and it was all over. Takasugi had done it. From a field of 2,546 entries, he stood alone as the APT Taipei 2025 Main Event Champion.

He shook hands with Leong, who bowed out in second place with an outstanding runner-up performance worth TWD 10,133,000 (~USD 312,750).
