KPC Poker October Series | Main Event and 60K Super High Roller Both Set Nine-Handed FTs, Huang Peng and Ryuta Nakai Lead

On October 15, 2026, the KPC Poker October Series entered its fifth day, with two marquee events simultaneously reaching critical stages. The 880 million guaranteed Main Event and the 60K Super High Roller, the highest buy-in event of the series, respectively completed intense Day 2 action and both reached their nine-player Final Tables.

In the Main Event, 125 players reconvened, with Huang Peng becoming the Final Table chip leader with 6,795,000 in chips. Wang Yilong followed closely with 5,870,000, while Chinese female player Mou Yue successfully advanced to the final nine.

The 60K Super High Roller ultimately drew 66 entries, creating a prize pool of more than $3.7 million. Japan's Ryuta Nakai leads the Final Table with 6,375,000 in chips, while LIN MENG LING is the only female player among the final nine.

125 Players Return for Day 2 of the KPC Main Event, More Than One-Third Eliminated in Two Levels

As the centerpiece event of the KPC Poker October Series, the Main Event featured an 880 million guaranteed prize pool.

At 12:00 p.m. local time on October 15, 125 advancing players from different starting flights merged for the first time to officially begin Day 2 competition.

After play began, eliminations came at a rapid pace. In just two blind levels, the field was reduced by more than one-third.

As multiple large pots unfolded, the chip leaderboard continued to shift.

KPC Main Event Day 2 Key Data

Sebastian Camilo Toro Henao Wins 1.2 Million-Chip Pot Early

Early on Day 2, Sebastian Camilo Toro Henao was the first to gain an edge in the chip race.

He quickly built his stack through a postflop pot worth more than 1,200,000 in chips, becoming one of the early leaders.

However, as the tournament progressed, more deep-stacked players entered key confrontations, and the lead began to change hands.

Mao Renji's AQ River Comeback Against KK Followed by Elimination in Three-Way All-in Ten Minutes Later

Chinese player Mao Renji experienced a highly dramatic swing on Day 2.

He first held AQ in a key confrontation against an opponent's KK, leaving him at a clear disadvantage.

But a crucial river card gave him the comeback, allowing Mao Renji to double up and build his stack to more than 800,000.

However, only about ten minutes later, he was involved in another large pot.

This time, Mao Renji faced not one opponent, but a three-way All-in confrontation.

Three-Way All-in: Mou Yue Hits a Set With 44

At the time, the board had reached the turn:

8♣ 9♥ T♠ 4♣

The three players held the following hands:

Although Mao Renji made two pair, Mou Yue had already completed a set when the 4♣ arrived on the turn, giving her a clear advantage.

The short-stacked player also held both straight and flush draws, leaving plenty of uncertainty in the three-way pot.

Ultimately, Mao Renji could not complete a comeback and was eliminated shortly after his successful double-up.

This hand also became one of Mou Yue's key turning points on Day 2, helping her continue her run toward the Final Table.

Huang Peng's KK Beats AK in Nearly 6 Million-Chip Pot to Establish Lead

In the latter stages of Day 2, Huang Peng became the center of attention.

He held in a preflop confrontation:

KK

Against JUNJIE XU, who held:

K♥A♦

and moved All-in with a 4-Bet, Huang Peng decisively called.

This premium hand confrontation between pocket kings and AK involved a massive pot of nearly 6,000,000 in chips.

Huang Peng's KK held up to win the crucial pot, propelling him into the chip-leader position in the late stages of the tournament.

With this victory, Huang Peng also established a significant chip advantage heading into the nine-player Final Table.

Jiang Zicong's J8 Runs Into AA, Quad Jacks Deliver Dramatic Double-Up

Another notable Day 2 hand involved Jiang Zicong.

He held:

J♣8♠

and moved All-in, only to run into Marsel Asylguzhin's pocket aces.

Preflop, Jiang Zicong was a huge underdog.

However, the board brought a dramatic turn of events.

Jiang Zicong's Quad Jacks Come Back Against Pocket Aces

Two jacks on the flop gave Jiang Zicong trips immediately.

Another jack, the J♠, arrived on the turn, giving him quad jacks to lock up the win, crack pocket aces, and double up.

However, this fortunate double-up was not enough to carry Jiang Zicong all the way to the Final Table.

He lost another key confrontation later and was ultimately eliminated in 13th place.

Wang Yilong Eliminates TEO RAVN as Final 11 Reach the FT Bubble

As the tournament entered the 25th blind level, the field gradually approached the Final Table.

Wang Yilong held in a preflop confrontation:

99

His opponent, TEO RAVN, held:

KQ suited

After both players got All-in, Wang Yilong's pocket nines held to eliminate TEO RAVN in 11th place.

The tournament officially entered the ten-handed Final Table bubble stage.

HUIXIANG XIA's KQ Runs Into KK, Eliminated in 10th Place

After the ten-handed stage lasted around two hours, the final player to miss the Final Table finally emerged.

HUIXIANG XIA, who had previously led a Main Event starting flight, held in the key hand:

K♠Q♦

But opponent Zhao Hongjun held:

K♥K♠

HUIXIANG XIA was unable to come back and ultimately finished the Main Event in 10th place.

With the conclusion of this hand, the nine-player KPC Main Event Final Table was officially set.

Huang Peng Leads With 6.795 Million, Wang Yilong Second and Mou Yue Seventh

After the final nine in the Main Event were determined, Huang Peng took the Final Table chip lead with 6,795,000 in chips.

Wang Yilong ranked second with 5,870,000 in chips.

Chinese female player Mou Yue advanced to the final nine with 975,000 in chips, ranking seventh and standing as the only female player at the Main Event Final Table.

Confirmed Chip Counts for the KPC Main Event Final Table

The original article did not fully publish the chip counts of all nine players in readable text, so the rankings and chip counts of the other six are not inferred.

Huang Peng and Wang Yilong currently occupy the top two spots on the chip leaderboard, while Mou Yue will need to find the right opportunities at the Final Table in an effort to continue her deep run in this Main Event.

66 entries in the 60K Super High Roller, with a prize pool exceeding $3.7 million

Another focal event running alongside the Main Event was the 60K Super High Roller, the highest buy-in event of this KPC Poker October Series.

According to the data published in the event report, the final totals were:

66 entries

Total prize pool exceeds:

$3,700,000

Only the top 10 players made the money.

Key Data for the 60K Super High Roller

The original article also stated that Day 1 recorded 50 entries and Day 2 added 12 entries, but their sum differs from the final published total of 66 entries. This article therefore uses the final total published in the original article and does not independently infer the source of the discrepancy.

Tan Xuan's A4 was called by QQ, costing him a large number of chips after a river all-in

Early on Day 2, Chinese player Tan Xuan suffered a setback in a key hand.

He held:

A♣4♣

went head-to-head preflop with TSAI TING YI's pocket queens, with both players escalating the action to a 4-Bet.

The board ran out:

T♠ K♠ 4♦ T♦ 6♠

Tan Xuan paired his four on the flop, but his opponent's pocket queens remained ahead.

Tan Xuan continued betting on the flop and turn, and his opponent called both times.

On the river, after a long period of thought, Tan Xuan ultimately decided to go all-in.

However, TSAI TING YI called again and successfully won the pot.

Tan Xuan consequently lost a large number of chips and was eliminated shortly afterward.

Ding Biao's AK falls to 77, exiting the Super High Roller early

Another Chinese player, Ding Biao, was also eliminated early on Day 2.

He held:

AK offsuit

against MARTIN MICHAEL SEDLAK's:

77

The two got all-in preflop, and Ding Biao failed to get the help he needed, with the pocket sevens holding up.

Ding Biao therefore ended his run in the 60K Super High Roller early.

Yu Lei and Tony Lin eliminated in succession

As Day 2 reached its middle stages, more notable players made their exits.

Chinese player Yu Lei held:

88

and faced an opponent holding:

JJ

but was ultimately unable to come from behind.

Tony Lin, meanwhile, held:

83

in another confrontation and lost to an opponent's:

AJ

The two were eliminated in succession, missing out on the 60K Super High Roller Final Table.

GUMZ FABIAN finishes 10th for $120,000

The 60K Super High Roller had 10 paid places.

On the Final Table bubble, GUMZ FABIAN held:

QJ offsuit

against an opponent's:

AQ offsuit

He was ultimately unable to come from behind and finished in 10th place.

Although he missed the nine-handed Final Table, he still earned:

$120,000 in prize money

With GUMZ FABIAN's elimination, the final nine players in the 60K Super High Roller were set.

Ryuta Nakai leads the Super High Roller with 6.375 million; LIN MENG LING is seventh

Once the 60K Super High Roller Final Table was set, Japanese player Ryuta Nakai held:

6,375,000 chips

to rank first.

LIN MENG LING, meanwhile, brought:

2,550,000 chips

to the table, ranking seventh as the only female player at the Super High Roller Final Table.

Confirmed chip counts for the 60K Super High Roller

Two major events set their Final Tables simultaneously

With Day 2 concluding on October 15, two key events of the KPC Poker October Series had both reduced their large fields to the final nine players.

KPC Poker Double Final Table Comparison

A common feature of both events is that each has one female player who successfully reached the final nine.

Mou Yue continues her title bid as the female representative in the Main Event, while LIN MENG LING is the only female Final Table player in the 60K Super High Roller.

KPC's two Final Tables begin at 13:00 on October 16

According to the schedule published in this Day 2 event report, both the Main Event and 60K Super High Roller were scheduled to:

13:00 on October 16

enter their Final Table stages simultaneously.

In the Main Event, Huang Peng leads with 6,795,000 chips, while Wang Yilong ranks second with 5,870,000. The two leaders will be key figures in the title race.

In the 60K Super High Roller, Ryuta Nakai leads with 6,375,000 chips, as the nine players continue competing for the remaining prize money from the more than $3.7 million prize pool.

This recap covers events through the end of Day 2 in both tournaments and does not include the eventual Final Table winners.

Huang Peng and Ryuta Nakai lead as KPC enters the title-deciding stage

The fifth day of the KPC Poker October Series was highlighted by the formation of two nine-handed Final Tables.

The Main Event produced its final nine from 125 Day 2 entrants. Huang Peng built his advantage by winning a nearly 6 million-chip pot with KK against AK, ultimately bagging the chip lead with 6,795,000. Wang Yilong ranks second, while Mou Yue sits seventh with 975,000 chips.

In the 60K Super High Roller, 66 entries generated a prize pool exceeding $3.7 million. GUMZ FABIAN collected $120,000 for 10th place, while Ryuta Nakai became the chip leader among the final nine with 6,375,000 chips.

With both Final Tables set simultaneously, the KPC Poker October Series has officially entered its most important title-deciding stage. The key questions ahead are whether the leaders can protect their chip advantages and whether the short stacks can mount comebacks at the Final Table.
