Jian Dong Yu Eliminated in 2nd Place for HKD 1,026,500 ($131,284)

The Poker King Cup Macau 2018 Main Event has a champion, with Wei Ran Pu triumphing over Jian Dong Yu. It was Pu who came into the heads-up confrontation with a substantial lead, which Yu was unable to overcome.

After a little back-and-forth between the two players, the final hand played out when Yu made it 525,000 to go from the button. It looked like this was slightly more then he meant to raise, as he immediately tried to take some of it back, but was prevented from doing so by the dealer.

An opportunistic Pu declared himself all-in, and Yu shrugged his shoulders and slammed down the rest of his stack for the call.

Jian Dong Yu:
Wei Ran Pu:

Pu had the pair, meaning Yu needed to hit to survive. There was not an ace to be seen, with the final runout coming down . Pu's watching rail crowded around to congratulate their new champion, while a gracious Yu came over to shake his hand, before heading off to collect the equivalent of over US$131,000 - not bad at all for a few days at the card tables.

An elated Pu posed for his winner's photograph before hoisting the trophy aloft to celebrate his first major tournament title win. Full wrap to follow so watch this space.
