James Chen has won the Macau Poker Cup 23 HK$ 80,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE) event. The player, hailing from Taiwan, defeated Japanese player Makoto Yoshimichi in a whirlwind heads-up match to take the first prize of $219,850.

Chen defeated a field of 75 entrants, over the space of two days. The 75-minute final table was a whizz-bang affair. The PokerStars blog stated that Chen ‘dominated’ the event. He started as the final table chip leader, and never let go of the baton.
