HomeWe have reached the penultimate day of APT Korea Incheon 2019 at Paradise City Casino and we still have plenty of side trophies up for grabs. Latest side event winners were Yuya Kaneko at the WeLoveSport Deep Stack Turbo and Ka Wai Wong at the Deep Stack Hyper Turbo. Results can be found below. Official awarding takes place at 3pm today.
Today we kick off with another elimination round at the featured Championships Event with 34 players back on the felt. Only 22 will see the money which means it will be a harrowing race to secure a profit. 12 players will be bumped from the field with nothing to show for. The event will conclude once the Final 8 players is established. Leading in the pack is New Zealand’s Tae Hoon Han with 963,000 in chips.

Latest side event winners
Yuya Kaneko wins the WeLoveSport Super Deep Stack Turbo
Another side event drew a big crowd with the WeLovSport Super Deep Stack Turbo seeing 120 gunners step to the plate to generate a KRW 34,920,000 prize pool. Only the top 20 players got a piece of the pie. Yuya Kaneko grabbed the largest turning his KRW 330,000 buy-in to a sweet KRW 8,681,000. Like several winners before him at the series, this was Kaneko’s first-ever APT title.

Ka Wai Wong ships the Deep Stack Hyper Turbo
The Deep Stack Hyper Turbo event drew slightly less than the WLS event with only 92 signing up. This may have been due to the late afternoon start and players eager to attend the Dafabet Players Party at 10pm. Whatever the reason, the event still had plenty of action. 16 players cashed in on the KRW 17,848,000 prize pool. Hong Kong’s Ka Wai Wong banked the most for her victory, denying another female player Marika Tomisawa the title. Wong became the second female player to ship a title at the series. She pocketed KRW 4,694,000 which was quite a nice return for her KRW 220,000 buy-in.
Final 8 payouts
1st Ka Wai Wong – Hong Kong – KRW 4,694,000
