Tsang checked the flop of {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Hoang bet another 100,000. Tsang raised to 200,000 which was re-raised by Hoang to 300,000 total. Tsang called and they saw the turn {9-Clubs}. Tsang checked and after Hoang shoved in the remainder of his shorter stack, Tsang snap-called to show {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, well ahead of Hoang's {j-Clubs}{6-Spades}. The river {8-Hearts} was a brick, good enough to crown Tsang as the champion of the Asian Poker King Tournament.<br />Results and pay-outs from the final table:<br />1 HK$ 553,600 Elton Tsang (Hong Kong)<br />2 HK$ 294,100 John Hoang (USA)<br />3 HK$ 138,400 Jose De Caro (Venezuela)<br />4 HK$ 103,800 Fred Leung (Hong Kong)<br />5 HK$ 86,500 Samuel Sin Cheung Luk (Hong Kong)<br />6 HK$ 69,200 Brice Renaud (France)<br />7 HK$ 51,900 Sae Jin Lee (Korea)<br />8 HK$ 34,600 Ryan Kim (USA)<br />9 HK$ 32,900 Kuok Uki Cheong (Macau)<br />10 HK$ 29,425 Wu Hong Cheng (China)<br />The Asian Poker King Tournament, which is an Asian Poker Tour Accredited Event, featured a guaranteed prize pool of HK$ 1,000,000 with a buy in of HK$ 7,500 + HK$ 500.
