Carlos Chang Wins APT Macau Main Event Title

Taiwan’s Carlos Chang has outlasted a field of 268 entries to win the HKD $25,000 buy-in Asian Poker Tour (APT) Macau Main Event. The tournament concluded last night and saw Chang score a whopping HKD $1,913,100 (USD $246,625) in prize money when he defeated Team Poker King’s Winfred Yu at heads up.

APT Macau 2012 Main Event Final Table

DafaPoker Ambassador Richard Zhu had the chip lead going into final table but was, unfortunately, a big contributor to Chang’s win. At three-handed, Chang got the better of Zhu in two key hands when he rivered a full house and then a flush, getting paid on both occasions.

Chang was then able to knock Zhu out in third and went into the heads up with a huge 7:1 chip lead. The final hand came a short while later when both players checked a flop of J 10 4. On the A turn Yu shoved on a bluff with Q 4 but Chang made the call with 10 8 for a pair of tens and a flush draw. The river J meant it was all over and Yu went home with HKD $1,016,400 in runner-up prize money.
