Create history and cement your legacy with Asia’s Biggest Poker Tour

There are now more ways than ever to make your mark on the Asian Poker Tour.

With the launch of the APT Leaderboards, players who have competed during the New Era can now look back at their entire APT record in one place, from titles and cashes to total winnings and where they rank across the different types of tournaments.

Each player profile brings together their results from across the Tour, giving them a clearer picture of what they have achieved so far. It also adds another competitive layer to every festival, with each cash, final table and title offering a chance to climb the rankings and move closer to the names at the top.

Over time, the Leaderboards will also serve as a record of the players who have helped shape the APT’s New Era, tracking the names that continue to build their legacies and leave their mark on the Tour.

The Leaderboards are updated after each APT festival has concluded, once the latest results have been processed.

Here is a look at the different APT Leaderboards and the players currently leading the way:

Winnings Leaderboard

Sitting at the top of the Winnings Leaderboard is Punnat Punsri, with USD 1,411,477 in winnings on the Tour. The Thai superpro has a long history with the APT stretching back to 2019. Since then, Punsri has become one of the Tour’s most familiar high-stakes faces, adding an APT Main Event title at APT Taipei 2023 as the first Main Event champion of the New Era. Years of deep runs and major results have kept him at the summit, and at the time of writing, no player has won more prize money on the APT.

Close behind is Nevan Chang, who has accumulated USD 1,299,051 in APT winnings. Like Punsri, the Natural8 ambassador and Team Hot member has been part of the Tour for years, with his first APT cash dating back to APT Taipei 2019. While a Mega Lion has so far eluded the Taiwanese pro, Chang has continued to add major results to his record, most recently taking down the Superstar Challenge at the APT Jeju 2026. That victory is set to push him into the number one spot once the Jeju results are added to the Leaderboards, unless Punsri can add enough of his own before the festival comes to a close.

In third is Nishant Sharma with USD 1,248,891, and there is little mystery as to how he climbed so high so quickly. Sharma made history in 2025 by winning the inaugural APT Championship Main Event, earning an extraordinary USD 1,186,880 for the victory. His APT history may not date back as far as Punsri’s or Chang’s, but one enormous result was enough to launch him straight towards the top of the APT all-time money list. It is a clear example of just how significant an APT Championship Main Event victory can be, and with another Championship to come, Sharma may not be the last player to make such a dramatic jump up the rankings.

Titles Leaderboard

The race for the most APT titles is currently as tight as it gets, with four players tied on 10, but Mark Furniss has the distinction of being the first player of the New Era to reach double figures.

Furniss is joined at the top by fellow Australian Jarryd Godena, Li Ta Hsu of Taiwan, and Yang Lu of China. One thing the quartet have in common is their strength away from No Limit Hold’em, with the majority of their titles coming across the many other poker variants regularly offered on the Tour.

That is hardly a coincidence. Mixed games and non-Hold’em formats have become a regular part of every APT festival, giving specialists plenty of opportunities to chase trophies across games ranging from Omaha and Stud to Draw and mixed-game formats. For players like Furniss, Godena, Hsu and Lu, that variety has been a major part of their rise to the top of the titles standings.

Also worth keeping an eye on are Qibang Cheung of the United Kingdom and Tran Hanh of Austria. Both have climbed the leaderboard rapidly over the past two years, and with the rate they are winning tournaments at, the group at the top may not have much breathing room for long.

Cashes Leaderboard

Winning in poker is difficult enough. Doing it consistently, festival after festival, is arguably an even tougher test, and that is exactly what the Cashes Leaderboard highlights.

At the top is Hong Kong veteran Sparrow Cheung, who leads the way with 77 cashes during the New Era. He is followed by the aforementioned Nevan Chang with 67, while fellow Hong Kong player Horace Leung sits third with 54. All three have built their positions through repeated deep runs across multiple festivals, showing just how much consistency matters over the long haul.

There is also a strong Hong Kong flavour throughout the standings. Five of the current top ten players on the Cashes Leaderboard hail from Hong Kong, underlining the depth and consistency of one of the Tour’s strongest player pools.

Another familiar name appears just outside the top three, with Lin Hua Wei sitting fourth. Alongside Chang, she forms one of the most successful poker couples (WinPoker Couple) on the Asian circuit right now, with both maintaining places among the Tour’s most consistent performers.

Mega Lions Leaderboard

The Mega Lions Leaderboard focuses on the three premier tournaments held at every APT festival stop outside of the APT Championship: the APT Main Event, APT Super High Roller and APT High Roller. It tracks trophies, cashes and winnings from these marquee events, putting the spotlight on the players who have performed when the stakes, and prestige, are at their highest.

Abraham Ceesvin, the APT Jeju 2025 Main Event champion currently sits on top for the distinction of having the most Main Event cashes (9) and final tables (four) on the Tour. For now, though, the race is wide open. Every Mega Lion winner currently has one trophy apiece, meaning no player has yet managed to capture a second and separate themselves from the pack.

That leaves one of the most significant milestones of the New Era still waiting to be claimed. With every festival bringing three more opportunities to win a Mega Lion, the question is simple: who will be the first to reach two and take sole possession of the top spot?

High Roller Leaderboard

The High Roller Leaderboard covers all non-turbo High Roller events on the Tour, including the Superstar Challenge and Baby Superstar Challenge, bringing together results from some of the toughest and most expensive tournaments on the APT schedule.

At the top is Calvin Lee with USD 1,226,145 in High Roller winnings. Lee enjoyed a stellar 2025 season on the Tour, highlighted by victory in the Superstar Challenge at APT Incheon 2025 before going on to win the Superstar Championship at APT Championship 2025. Those two huge results helped establish him as one of the standout High Roller performers of the New Era.

Punnat Punsri sits second with USD 951,811, adding yet another leaderboard appearance to his already formidable APT record. The Thai pro further strengthened his High Roller credentials by winning the Superstar Challenge at APT Incheon 2026, showing his consistency at the highest stakes.

In third is Australia’s Daniel Neilson with USD 942,627 in winnings. Neilson’s place among the leaders is headlined by his victory in the APT High Roller at APT Manila 2024, helping him secure a spot among the top three on one of the Tour’s most competitive leaderboards.

A special mention also goes to fourth placed Tony Lin of China, who produced one of the most impressive High Roller runs of the 2026 season at APT Jeju Classic. Lin won the APT Super High Roller and Superstar Challenge back-to-back at the same festival, a feat that will be extremely difficult to replicate. For one unforgettable stretch in Jeju, it really was Linsanity.

Women’s Leaderboard

The Women’s Leaderboard counts trophies, cashes and winnings from all APT tournaments, not just Women’s Events, offering a broader picture of the female players who have made the biggest impact across the Tour.

Leading the way is Hikaru Hishinuma with USD 286,846 in winnings. She is perhaps best known for her deep run in the Super High Roller Championship at APT Championship 2025, where she finished fifth against one of the toughest fields of the year. That result played a major part in putting her at the top of the Women’s Leaderboard.

Close behind is Lili Tang of China with USD 270,526. A relative newcomer to the APT, Tang quickly announced herself with a breakout performance at APT Jeju 2025, finishing runner-up in the APT Main Event and coming agonisingly close to becoming the first woman to win a Main Event in the New Era. That one run alone was enough to propel her straight into the upper reaches of the standings.

In third is Russia’s Natalia Rozova with USD 245,397. Her biggest APT result came at APT Phu Quoc 2024, where she captured the Zodiac Classic, and that victory remains the centrepiece of a record that has kept her firmly among the leading women of the New Era.

Also just outside the top three is the aforementioned Lin Hua Wei, who sits fourth with USD 205,873 in winnings.
