With Chou Chien Fa coming into the heads-up confrontation with a veritable mountain of chips for an almost unassailable 13-to-1 chip lead, the battle lasted all of two hands.

In the second hand, Fa moved all-in from the button and Erquiaga made the call for his tournament life, with the duo revealing their hole cards.

David Erquiaga: {a-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Chou Chien Fa: {7-Spades}{8-Spades}

While Erquiaga held a slight lead, he was the at-risk player, and the {3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop saw Fa pull ahead. The {j-Spades} turn left Erquiaga teetering on the brink of elimination, and the {8-Hearts} river sealed the deal for Fa, who immediately celebrated his first major title win with his watching rail, before returning to shake Erquiaga's hand.

Erquiaga played a great game and showed plenty of grit, but at the end, the slopes of Fa's mountainous chip stack proved too hard to scale, and the Filipino headed off to the cash desk to collect the TWD 1,150,100 ($36,670) runner-up prize while Fa posed for his winner's picture. Full end of day wrap to follow shortly.
