The 2011 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Macau Main Event completed on Sunday after a long Day 4 of action. There were 15 players that returned to action on the last day of play, which made things last a tad bit longer than normal. At the start of the day, Sangeeth Mohan was the man in charge. He held the chip lead to enter the day, but wouldn't be the one walking away with the title. That man was Team PokerStars Online player Randy Lew. He topped Jimmy Pan in heads-up play to claim victory and earn himself HKD 3,772,000.
Sparrow Cheung was the first player eliminated on Day 4 and he was followed out the door by Josh Barrett, Tsugunari Toma, Daoxing Chen and Baton Fung before the tournament fell on the final table bubble. Two tables were stacked with five players each with the final nine making the official APPT final table.
Falling on the final table bubble was the start-of-the-day chip leader Mohan. With the blinds at 25,000/50,000/5,000, Mohan opened from the button to 110,000. Kai Yat Fam was in the small blind and reraised to 380,000. Action moved back to Mohan and he four-bet to 710,000. Fam called.
The flop produced the 
and Fam checked to Mohan. Mohan bet all of his chips and Fam quickly called with the 
. Mohan had flopped top set with the 
, but wasn't in the clear yet. Fam held a big draw and spiked it on the turn when the 
fell to give him a flush. The river failed to pair the board and Mohan was eliminated to officially set the final table.
