Kumagai Conquers Huge Field for Maiden APT Title in Event #33: NL - Hold'em – Freezeout

Kumagai makes a huge score for his first APT trophy

Japan's Taizo Kumagai overcame a huge 273-entry field to take down Event #33: NL - Hold'em – Freezeout, earning a career-best KRW 45,970,000 (~USD 32,603) and his maiden APT title.

Kumagai had recorded just two APT cashes prior to the event, but made his latest run count in emphatic fashion. The Japanese player navigated his way through one of the biggest fields of the festival in a side event so far to secure his first piece of APT silverware and by far the biggest live tournament score of his career.

Compatriot Takafumi Ino was also searching for his maiden APT title after recording multiple previous cashes on the tour. Ino came agonisingly close to breaking through but ultimately settled for second place and KRW 30,570,000 (~USD 21,681), which also marked the biggest live tournament cash of his career.

It was an all-Japanese podium, with amateur Masao Nishizawa taking third for a sizeable KRW 22,360,000 (~USD 15,858). Having previously recorded live tournament cashes exclusively in Japan, Nishizawa's deep run marked his first international live cash and resulted in a huge payday.
