Asian Poker Tour final table
The APT’s official 2025 Taipei High Roller report records Yun sixth for TWD 1,712,000. That tournament attracted 415 entries.
The result is denominated in New Taiwan dollars. It is distinct from the Philippine-peso payout he later earned in Manila.

APPT Championship runner-up
Yun led Day 1B of the 2026 APPT Championship with 570,500 chips, according to Somuchpoker’s flight report. He advanced from that starting flight to the final heads-up match on October 19.
The final tournament report records a 479-entry field and an agreement that secured Yun PHP 9,538,000. The finalists continued playing for PHP 2 million and the title; Yun’s payout remained the amount fixed in their deal.
These results establish his final-table record in two separate Asian tour competitions. Listed tournament prizes should not be treated as net earnings or net worth.
