APPT Macau Main Event Crowns Victorino Torres as Its Winner
An incredible number of 342 players from 40 different countries were part of the PokerStars Asian Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) Macau Main Event, which crowned Victorino Torres from the Northern Mariana Islands. Victorino won HKD $3.2 million or USD $416,000. Even though the attendance fell by 20% in 2010, it still had a great number of players.
Torres got into the final table as the second shortest stack. It was a move by Keith “The Camel” Hawkins that changed Torres’ luck, leaving Hawkins in 9th place of the final table.
Kiwi Cole Swannack came out at the third place and took home HKD $1.2 million. Chong Cheong had the chance and got a price of HKD $2.1 million and became the highest placing Chinese player in the event history.
It was a very tight game between Chong Cheong and Victorino Torres, with a flop of J-10-9, Chong Cheong with a Q-6, but Torres had 8-7 for a straight. The turn and river were an ace and seven, making Torres the APPT Macau Main Event Champion.
