Jangwoo Lee Triumphs at Jeju Super Cup 2026 Main Event After Beating 735-Player Field
The Jeju Super Cup 2026 Main Event has a new champion — and it’s Jangwoo Lee who walks away with the trophy after navigating a stacked 735-entry field at Lotte Hotel Jeju.
In one of the largest Main Events ever held on the island, Lee outlasted a deep lineup to claim the Super Cup’s premier title, capping off a festival that once again confirmed Jeju’s status as a major hub on the Asian live poker circuit.
For Lee, the victory represents a defining career moment: winning a flagship Main Event on home soil, against a field packed with regional crushers and seasoned pros.
Another Big-Field Battle in Jeju
The Super Cup Main Event is never short on ambition, but 732 entries pushed the 2026 edition firmly into “marquee tournament” territory. Players from across South Korea, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia descended on Jeju Island, creating a field that blended seasoned live regulars with rising stars chasing a breakthrough score.
Lee Jangwoo picked his spots carefully as the pressure increased and the field narrowed. By the time the final table was set, Lee chipped away at his opponents and sealed the deal with a Heads Up All in against the runner-up He Junjie, with his J8 dominating He’s J3.
Super Cup Jeju 2026: A Festival That Delivered
While the Main Event headlined the schedule, the Super Cup Jeju series once again delivered across the board, with multiple side events exceeding guarantees and producing standout winners.
High-stakes action was a major talking point throughout the festival. The High Roller event drew a triple-digit field and comfortably surpassed its advertised guarantee, highlighting the growing appetite for bigger buy-ins in the region. Vietnam’s Minh Thang Tran emerged victorious after a tough heads-up battle, continuing the trend of international players making deep runs in Jeju.
At the very top end, the Super High Roller attracted a compact but elite lineup of 46 entries, creating one of the largest prize pools of the series. South Korea’s Jiwoo Bae claimed the title, securing one of the biggest payouts of the festival and reinforcing the strength of the local high-stakes scene.
