Asian Poker King Tournament Closes Today
Today is the final day of the three-day Poker King Club’s Asian Poker King Tournament in the Star World Hotel in Macau. With a guaranteed prize pool of HKD$750,000 the tourney generated a lot of interest and excitement and I for one watched the event with interest. Even though this is the first inaugural event for the club, by all reports it exceeded many expectations. Not only has there been a large turnout (174 players signed up for the event) but some of the best poker players from the Asian region have shown up to play including Bryan Huang from Singapore. The two –time Asian Poker Tour (APT) runner-up, Steve Yea, also arrived. Neither of these players, however, made it to the final table of ten players on Day 3 of the tournament and so are out of the running for the top prize of HKD$284,000. Korean player, Yoo Il Woong, will lead the pack today in the final event with 434,000 chips in this stack. Watch this space to find out the final result.
