Gestern ging es beim Asian Championship of Poker bereits in den vorletzten Tag und die gute Nachricht gleich zu Beginn, der 888poker Pro Dominik Nitsche kommt heute zurück an den Final Table. Dominik startete heute in den Tag als absoluter Chipleader, diesen musste er zwar an Aaron Been aus den USA mit 4.805.000 Chips abgeben, kommt aber mit starken 2.330.000 zurück ins Finale.
Am sehr stark besetzten Final Table wird morgen unter anderem auch Stephen Chidwick mit 2.790.000 sitzen, der ACOP Main Event Champion aus dem Jahr 2014 Gabriel Le Jossec musste sich heute aber leider auf Platz 10 verabschieden. Jeder der verbliebene Spieler hat bereits ein Preisgeld in Höhe von über $167.000 sicher, auf den Sieger warten stolze HKD 6.715.000, dies entspricht ca. $873.000.
Heute ab 14:00 Uhr Ortszeit startet der Final Table, ihr könnt die Action bei den Kollegen vom PokerStars Live Blog verfolgen:
