Rokas Asipauskas won the KPC Final Coronation for $300,800 at LES A Casino in Jeju, South Korea, on October 21, 2026. The $30,000 no-limit hold’em event finished with a one-hand heads-up contest.

Dingxiang Ong earned $190,000 as runner-up. The Hendon Mob result sheet records 20 entries and five re-entries, producing a $702,000 prize pool. Four places were paid, with the lowest payout worth $84,200.

From a WSOP bracelet to Jeju

Asipauskas already had a WSOP bracelet before arriving at the KPC final table. He won the $5,000 Super Colossus at WSOP Paradise in December 2025, receiving $504,950 from a 527-entry field, according to PokerOrg’s contemporary report.

The Jeju title adds a smaller-field high roller to that record. It is a KPC victory, separate from the WSOP bracelet achievement.

Heads-up ends before a second hand

SoMuchPoker’s on-site report says Ong moved all in with ace-ten of diamonds on the first hand of heads-up play. Asipauskas called with king-eight of diamonds, paired his eight on the flop and closed out the tournament.

The gap between the first two published payouts was $110,800. The brief final duel settled which player received the larger share.

Lithuanian winners on consecutive days

The result followed Marius Kudzmanas winning the festival’s King’s Main Event one day earlier. His $533,800 victory came in a separate $15,000 tournament with 169 entries; it should not be confused with Asipauskas’s Final Coronation title.
