The Success that was APT Macau 2010

The Asian Poker Tour, in collaboration with City of Dreams, successfully held the nine-day festival of live poker action at the Hard Rock Poker Lounge as the Asian Poker Tour Macau 2010 happened last November 6-14.

Poker players were fleet in joining the exciting side events that the Asian Poker Tour prepared for them. The tournament area was filled with poker enthusiasts especially during the APT Macau Celebrity Charity Challenge where model and actress Grace Huang won MOP100,000 for Caritas Macau. Equally well-attended was the APT’s All In Battle of the Nations event won by Team Malaysia (Charles Chua, Daniel Chee and K.C Lee).

China’s Zhang Dan Peng emerged victorious as he outlasted a field of poker pros and legends–the likes of Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey–and grabbed the Asian Poker Tour Macau 2010 Champion title earning him HK$1.678 (which is approximately USD$215,000). Peng went heads up against Germany’s Bjoern Wiesler with his Ace-Deuce beating the opponent’s Pocket Sevens. It is pretty impressive to note that the 18-year old champ is the only Chinese winner of the APT Macau Main Event—which also happens to be the first-ever poker tournament he participated in. Details on Peng’s victory can be seen here.

Was Zhang Dan Peng your bet? If not, who was? Let us know of your thoughts!

China’s Zhang Dan Peng Crowned APT Macau 2010 Champion

Playing in his first-ever poker tournament, 18-year old Zhang Dan Peng of Guangzhou was crowned the 2010 Main Event champion at the Asian Poker Tour in Macau, winning HK$1.678 million (approximately USD$215,000) with his gutsy, aggressive style. Zhang is the first-ever Chinese champion of the APT Macau Main Event, held at the integrated entertainment complex, the City of Dreams.

Zhang, who only began playing poker six months ago, qualified for the 161-player Main Event in one of the APT Macau’s satellite events. Zhang steadily worked his way through the Main Event to land himself in a heads-up battle against Germany’s Bjoern Wiesler in Sunday’s Final Table. In the very first hand, Zhang went all- in, with his Ace-Deuce beating the 34-year old’s Pocket Sevens. As the runner-up, Wiesler will take home HKD$920,000 (approximately USD$117,000).
