At half past noon local time, the final nine players out of 520 entries in the 2026 Gods of Poker Taipei II Main Event will return to their seats on the live stream table inside of the Asia Poker Arena in Taipei City, Taiwan.
The crown jewel of The Trials of Wisdom held in cooperation with Taiwan's CTP Club will determine who takes home the biggest slices of the NT$ 17 Million guaranteed prize pool with all of those still in contention enjoying a healthy overlay.
Leading the way is the hyper aggressive Tsu Yun Yang with a stack of 13,715,000 after taking over the lead in the final hand of Day 2 against Daeyoung Park (9,565,000). Both players were responsible for numerous exhilarating pots during the business end of yesterday evening and more fireworks can be expected today.
Second in chips is Singapore's start of Day 2 chip leader Ravn Teo (12,385,000) whereas bubble burster Sheng Hung Kao is in third place holding a stack of 9,850,000.
Seven of the nine finalists are hailing from Taiwan and will aim to keep the trophy on home soil. Second shortest stack is Sin Ren Chen, who came back from just over three big blinds on the final table bubble to reach the final nine.
