Duong Quoc Hoang moves to the top of the standings after Day 4 of the 2026 Premier League Pool, overtaking long-time leader Eklent Kaci following a key victory in their final match of the evening.
One final round-robin session remains between the six remaining players to determine the four who will advance to the play-offs.
Albert Januarta secured his place on the final day after a hill-hill victory over Aloysius Yapp. The defeat eliminated Yapp, the highest-ranked player in the field, who entered his final match needing a result to stay in contention after four earlier losses. Januarta finishes Stage 2 with 14 points and moves a step closer to a potential maiden major title.
Chris Melling also advanced after defeating Jonás Souto in a decisive final match to secure sixth place in the standings.
Duong’s win over Kaci reshaped the leaderboard heading into the final day, setting up a tightly contested race for the semifinal spots.
The tournament concludes tomorrow, with the remaining contenders battling for the four play-off positions and the 2026 Premier League Pool title.
