In August 2026, Tony “Ren” Lin once again topped the global poker rankings. With the conclusion of the Jeju K Poker Cup and King Poker Cup series, Tony secured the King Poker Cup Player of the Series title thanks to numerous high-stakes runs, one championship, and a significant runner-up finish. The GPI 2026 Player of the Year rankings also showed him at number one globally with 4,026.47 points. This wasn't Tony's first time at the top of the POY rankings in 2026. From his four Jeju titles at the beginning of the year, his continuous point accumulation at the WSOP, to his high-density high-stakes performance this summer, he is transforming "occasional victories" into consistent competitiveness throughout the season. His performance at the KPC finale was another highlight, with Final Coronation securing a $394,500 runner-up finish. Tony's signature move in the final stages of this KPC came from Final Coronation, a buy-in 1TP 4T 30,000 game. The tournament attracted 75 entries, creating a total prize pool of $2,106,000. Tony entered the final nine as the chip leader with 8,500,000 chips, eliminating Vincent Huang, Zhi Ye, Xing, and David Coleman to reach the heads-up final. At the start of the final, Tony led Singapore's Bao Qiang Ho 22,000,000 to 16,000,000, but the tide turned in the later stages. Ho gradually regained control, ultimately eliminating Tony with A♥2♥ against his K♠10♦. Although Tony missed out on the championship, he finished as runner-up, earning **$394,500**; Bao Qiang Ho took home the $608,600 first-place prize. Final Coronation Top Nine Rankings by Country/Region Prize Money: 1. Bao Qiang Ho (Singapore, $, 608,600) 2. Tony Ren Lin (China, $, 394,500) 3. David Coleman (USA, $, 263,000) 4.
