Lam Takes Home Mini High Roller Championship

Lam got redemption after coming close to a mega lion earlier this year in Taipei

The #1017 [Event 17] Mini High Roller Championship delivered a grand finale-worthy showdown to close out the final weekend of the APT Championship 2025. The event attracted 184 entries (including 143 unique players) and generated a massive TWD 38,687,692 (~USD 1,205,202) prize pool — marking the eighth seven-figure USD prize pool of the festival. With a min-cash of TWD 386,900 (~USD 12,053) and TWD 8,569,092 (~USD 266,992) reserved for the winner, the field battled across three days of play and went through 30 levels of 40 minute levels to crown its champion.

Hong Kong’s Wayne Jin Wing Lam emerged victorious, lifting his first APT lion trophy after a composed and well-earned run. Earlier this year, Lam finished third in the APT Taipei 2025 Main Event, narrowly missing out on a Mega Lion. This time, he completed the journey, sealing redemption with a career-defining victory worth TWD 8,569,092 (~USD 266,992). It is the largest score of his poker career.

Malaysia’s Wai Kiat Lee finished runner-up, adding TWD 5,783,800 (~USD 180,105) to his already impressive run in this Championship. With over USD 20 million in live earnings, Lee is one of Asia’s most accomplished high-stakes professionals, and throughout this Championship series he made multiple deep runs as he chased his first APT title — coming agonisingly close once again. Denmark’s Johan Buchtrup Schultz Pedersen, who won a Single Day High Roller earlier in the festival, secured third place for TWD 3,981,000 (~USD 123,986) after yet another strong showing.

South Korea’s Wonchul Bae finished runner-up, earning TWD 1,465,500 (~USD 45,646).
