APPT Macau ACOP Main Event – Day 5 Report
Posted by: Randy Williams - Sun, 2013-11-03 09:33
The 5th day of the APPT’s Macau ACOP Main Event was supposed to be its last, but the organizers had to review their plans and re-schedule things after the field failed to play down to a winner.
The heads-up stage of the event was reached though, so Day 6 is likely to be a short one after all.
The two players who will return on the last day are Sunny Jung and Devan Tang. Jung is the one with the chip lead and thus with the better odds, holding a stack of 3.21 million chips. Tang has 2.87 million chips so it’s still pretty much everyone’s game.
9 players returned to action on the 5th day, and the first casualty fell within just 5 hands. Chane Kampanatsanyakorn bit the dust at Yat Wai Cheng’s hands, after the latter’s pocket 9s got the better of his pocket 7s. Kampanatsanyakorn picked up HK$495k for his 9th place efforts.
The next player to head to the rail was China’s Chenxiang Miao, whose reward was HK$594k.
PokerStars pro Randy Lew of the US was still in the game at this stage, but not for long. Lew’s final hand was a mirror of the above described Kampanatsanyakorn- Cheng hand: his pocket 7s went up against Jonathan Depa’s pocket 9s in an unsuccessful bid to keep the last PokerStars player alive.
Depa was the one who followed Lew to the rail in 6th place, picking up a HK$990k reward. With that, the last of the US players bid farewell to the
poker tournament.
Depa was followed to the rail by Japan’s Yoshitaka Okawa, who picked up HK$1.18 million. The heads-up stage was set after the elimination of two Chinese: Yat Wai Cheng fell in 4th place, followed to the rail by Zifan Zheng.
