Margereson Dominates from Start to Finish in Jeju
British pro Scott Margereson has added a major international title to his résumé, winning the APT Jeju High Roller in dominant fashion and taking home the coveted Mega Lion trophy.
A Final Table Performance for the Highlight Reel
What set this victory apart wasn't just the win — it was how Margereson got there. Out of eight opponents he faced at the final table, he personally eliminated seven of them. That kind of table control is rarely seen at this level of competition, where the field typically features seasoned tournament regulars capable of applying pressure from any seat.
Why This Performance Stands Out
Margereson has been a consistent presence on the European circuit for years, but a dominant high-roller final table on the Asia Pacific Tour signals that his game is translating powerfully to international stages. High-roller events tend to compress skill edges — short fields, deep stacks, and aggressive play mean that running hot and playing well must coincide. Eliminating seven of eight opponents at a final table suggests Margereson was doing both at once.
APT Jeju: A Premier Stop on the Asian Circuit
The Asia Poker Tour's Jeju festival, held in South Korea, is one of the region's flagship series, drawing top talent from across Asia, Europe, and beyond. A high-roller title here carries real prestige on the global poker calendar.
