Nog meer nieuws uit een van de grootste cashgames ooit vertoond in de pokerscene: Chau Giang wint een pot van 20 miljoen $HK dat gelijk staat aan $2.600.000,- !!

Dit keer is het marketing director Stella Yeh van de Poker King Club waar de nu al legendarische highstake cashgame in Macau gespeeld wordt die op 2+2 een update geeft.

Niet vaak krijg je als pokerliefhebber zo veel en goede updates over de highstake live cashgames in het normaal zo afgesloten live/private homegame circuit.

This game has been going on in Macau at Level 3 Starworld...Poker King Club for over a year already. And consists of mostly Macau/China businessmen who have converted their passion from Baccarrat to Poker. It's definetly an entertaining game to watch, i've seen some players improve over the years and come out consistent winners each session. Yet i've seen others continue to try and chase very expensive gut shots or flush draws just because "they could feel it"...lolz. With the addition of Durr, Phil, and other world champions, the game's atmosphere has really gotten even more exciting. Everyday new challenges come out, and as Tom Hall said earlier, some guy from Beijing has challenged to play Durr heads up, if he flies in tonight, i'll keep everyone posted on what happens. Thanks! =)
