The crown jewel of the 2024 APT Taipei festival is, without doubt, the Main Event. The Main Event commands a TWD 70,000 ($2,270) buy-in, and features a guarantee on its prize pool worth an impressive TWD 65 million ($2 million). If the 2023 APT Taipei Main Event is anything to go by, the 2024 edition should blow that guarantee out of the water.
Last May, 1,434 players bought into the 2023 APT Taipei Main Event, creating a prize pool more than double the size of the advertised guarantee; the Main Event paid TWD 62,594,100 ($2,034,185).
Some 203 players received a payout instead of 201 because Ping Hsien Chan, Hiroki Kato,, and Hon Cheong Lee busted during the same hand on the bubble.
Others who saw a return on their investment included Kannapong Thanarattrakul, Belarmino De Souza, Abhinav Iyer, Joshua McCully, and Kitty Kuo.
Each of the nine players who reached the final table locked in the equivalent of $26,762, with the top four finishers getting their hands on a six-figure (USD) payday.
Thailand’s all-time leading money earner Punnat Punsri was the last player standing. Punsri defeated South Korea’s Soo Kim heads-up to capture a TWD 11,210,400 ($364,315) prize, the seventh-largest haul of Punsri’s career. It is highly likely that Punsri will be in attendance for the 2024 APT Taipei Main Event, which is bad news for whoever finds themselves on his table.
2023 APT Taipei Main Event Final Table Results
