Malaysia’s Jeremy Chan won the 2026 APT Incheon Super High Roller at Paradise City in South Korea, improving on his runner-up finish in the same event last year.
Chan defeated a 58-entry field, including 48 unique players, in the KRW 15 million buy-in event. The tournament generated a prize pool of KRW 801,705,000, approximately $575,000, with eight players reaching the money.
The victory earned Chan KRW 236,325,000 — roughly $169,650 — along with a $10,000 seat to the APT Championship Main Event in November.
It also delivered his first APT title after several near misses.
Chan Gets His Win After Finishing Second Last Year
The result carried extra significance because Chan had finished runner-up in the same Super High Roller at APT Incheon one year earlier.
Chan had also finished second four times in the previous three months.
He secured the title by beating Dutch professional Michel Molenaar in a long heads-up battle that lasted 44 hands and nearly three full 40-minute levels.
Molenaar earned KRW 170,950,000, approximately $122,720, for second place. China’s Peng Chen finished third for roughly $79,175, while Taiwan’s Chih Wei Fan collected approximately $59,940 for fourth.
Career Earnings Pass $1 Million
The Super High Roller victory also pushed Chan beyond $1 million in recorded live tournament winnings and represented the second-largest cash of his career.
After several recent final tables, Chan converted a deep run into his first APT trophy.
It was one of the biggest wins at APT Incheon 2026. The included APT Championship Main Event seat gives Chan another major tournament to play later this year.
