In the end, 20-year-old American player Yevgeniy Timoshenko scooped $500,000 after defeating a star-studded field featuring players from over 40 nations.
“The Asian Poker Tour Macau Festival will feature a side event schedule never seen in Asia before including several new formats that will stir the curiosity of poker enthusiasts at all levels,” said Chris Parker, Chief Executive Officer for the Asian Poker Tour.
“We believe Asia’s first festival of poker will establish Macau as an essential stop on the international poker circuit.”
Parker revealed that high-limit games and sit-n-go tables would run throughout the duration of the event alongside a repeat of last year’s $129,000 high-rollers game with the addition of expected daily six-figure pots.
