Congratulations to Yevgeniy Timoshenko, Champion of the 2008 APT Macau Main Event ($500,000)
"I'm very fortunate to have won this," said a visibly overjoyed Timoshenko. "I ran extremely well. The final table was a pretty tough lineup. I'm really ecstatic that I finally won a main event."
For his performance, Timoshenko has been presented with the equivalent of US$500,000 in Hong Kong Dollars and a Lucite trophy replica of the Galaxy StarWorld Hotel and Casino. He also was given a bottle of champagne that he had absolutely no idea how to open (Timoshenko is twenty years old; the legal drinking age in his home country, the U.S.A., is twenty-one).
Congratulations once again to Yevgeniy Timoshenko on a hard-fought, well-earned victory.
