Filipino tournament player and TMT Championship Main Event winner
POKER HALL OF FAME
Inducted 2014
Lester Edoc is a Filipino tournament poker player whose major results include Main Event victories on the Asian Poker Tour and at the 2026 TMT Championship in Taipei. His record also includes high roller titles in the Philippines and across the Asian circuit.
⠀
2026 TMT Championship Main Event
Edoc won the TMT Championship Main Event at CTP Asia Poker Arena on October 26, 2026. The NT$35,000 event drew 1,418 entries and produced an NT$42,880,320 prize pool.
CTP’s final results list Edoc first for NT$4,757,400. The posted payout differs from the pre-final advertised first prize because the top-three amounts were redistributed; tournament cashes are gross returns and do not show profit after buy-ins and expenses.
⠀
APT Main Event and high roller titles
In 2018, Edoc won the APT Philippines Championships Main Event at Resorts World Manila. The Asian Poker Tour recorded 325 entries, a PHP15,762,500 prize pool and PHP2,674,900 for first place.
The Asian Poker Tour’s current player record lists five APT titles and 29 cashes through October 2026. That record includes high roller victories in 2024 and 2026, plus runner-up finishes in the 2024 Superstar Challenge and 2025 Zodiac Classic.

Red Dragon Manila victory
Edoc won the 2020 PokerStars Red Dragon Manila Super High Roller at Okada Manila. The PHP500,000 event drew 30 entries, and Edoc earned PHP5,222,000 after defeating Florencio Campomanes heads-up.
