Danny Tang Confirms Stellar Form with Title
 

This prestigious event with a 35 million KRW buy-in attracted 40 elite players competing for a share of the 1,326,000,000 KRW (~$937,140) prize pool. The top six players made it to the money, with the winner claiming the largest financial reward in Korean tournament history and a ticket to the APT Championship Main Event in Taipei.

The champion, professional player from Hong Kong, Danny Tang, continued his impressive performances in Jeju, building on three final table appearances at Triton this month. Tang secured the title in a thrilling heads-up battle with Australia's Ricky Huang, featuring multiple twists and turns. The lead shifted several times, but Tang's ability to remain composed and capitalize on key moments ultimately led to his victory. The decisive hand was a classic coin flip: Huang with 6 h 6 d vs. Tang with K h T h. The board unfolded with 3 c 9 s 3 h 2 d T d, and a ten on the river sealed the victory.

For Danny Tang, this marks his third title on the APT circuit. His victory in the Superstar Challenge underscores his status as one of Asia's most dominant poker professionals. Tang's game, blending mathematical precision with an intuitive read on opponents, inspires a new generation of players not just in Hong Kong but across Asia.

Roman Hrabec delivered a stellar result for Czech poker, breaking into the top tier to claim 4th place. A regular in high-stakes tournaments, Hrabec took home KRW 150,880,000 (~$107,770), marking his second-highest APT win.
