During Day 2 of the TWD 50,000 APT Main Event, it was confirmed that the event has entered the history books as the biggest and richest international event in Taiwan! The Main Event drew 1,991 entries, which in-turn generated a record-breaking prize pool of TWD 86,011,200 (~USD 2,709,014), with a top prize of TWD 14,413,200 (~USD 453,959). With this, 295 players are locked up for a guaranteed payday. Thank you for the amazing support.
A the combined survivors from Flights A and C (less three double qualifiers whose shortest stacks were removed from play) were joined by a further 65 Day 2 late entries and these 414 players duked it out over five 60-minute levels.
Only 164 players made the cut for Day 3. Here is a recap of what happened today in Day 2 of the Main Event:
Dylan Wayne Foster
Australia’s Dylan Wayne Foster accumulated 575,000 chips and currently sits on the top of the chip leaderboard. Prior to the event, Foster has only ever managed second place in an APT event, winning over $75,000 in APT Summer Series Hanoi, Vietnam 2023.
The second-biggest stack of 562,000 belongs to Macau’s Sio Fat Lau who started in 25th place at the beginning of today and managed to hoard over 300,000 chips to climb up on the board.
Cheng Yen Lo
Taiwan’s Cheng Yen Lo (554,000) lost his opportunity to be the chip leader as Lo went too far on a hand with Tomoki Terashima (518,500). Lo folded his hand, losing the pot with no help received from the deck.

Okumura Building Stack to Progress
PostedJust nowby Life Of Poker - Gabby
Action folded to Man Fei Caleb Chui in big blind after Motoyoshi Okumura opened under-the-gun to 9,000. Chui called and the flop ran J♠ T♦ J♣. Allowing the initial raiser to lead, Chui check-called Okumura's bet of 7,000 on the turn 4♠.
Action passed to Okumura again, the aggressor bet 15,000 on the river 2♦. Chui called just to muck his hand after seeing Okumura's Q♥ T♥
