Malaysia’s Choong Kian Weng entered the heads up round ready to take the bull by the horns, and he did! He won seven consecutive pots to shake up Vietnam’s Dang Van Hien and run away with the title, the trophy, the APT Championship Ring, and the HKD 521,000 first prize!
Congratulations to the newest APT Main Event champion, Choong Kian Weng!
We will have a recap for you so stand by for that. You can also read up on all the action at the Final 8 right here.
Vietnam’s Dang Van Hien was the big stack all day. He eliminated the first two players at the Final 8 and from there he kept a steady momentum, winning multiple big pots all day. One thing impressive about Dang, he hardly ever revealed his hole cards and yet was shipping in the big pots.
Dang entered the final heads up round with quite big lead against Choong Kian Weng however, Weng was too tough to overcome. Here’s the final hand:
Dang A♦ 6♥
Weng A♠ Q♥
The board ran Q♣ 2♣ 3♥ 10♠ 9♥. What a great run for the silent but deadly Vietnamese. He earned HKD 304,800 for his impressive run at the APT Main Event.
Choong Kian Weng has been dominating the heads up round and has just capitalized on a massive pot to take the lead. During the hand, he raised to 100k then called Dang’s three-bet to 215k.
At the flop 3♠ 5♥ 8♣ both players checked. On the 8♠ turn, Dang checked, Weng bet 300k, then Dang raised to 775k. Weng quickly called.
