China’s Alvan Zheng wins 28th Macau Poker Cup

China’s Alvan Zheng has emerged victorious from the 28th instalment of the Macau Poker Cup that concluded on Sunday, taking home the top prize of HKD3.06 million (US$390,000) for his first-place finish.

The competition was promoted by online poker brand PokerStars and took place at ‘PokerStars LIVE at the City of Dreams’, a branded venue at Melco Resorts and Entertainment Ltd’s City of Dreams casino resort on Cotai, Macau.

The Red Dragon main event attracted a total field of 1,122 entries, according to PokerStars. Mr Zheng was also awarded a PokerStars Players NL Hold’em Championship Platinum Pass worth an additional US$30,000, which allows him to compete in a tournament to be held in the Bahamas between January 6 and 10, 2019, said the organisers.

Next in PokerStar’s calendar in Macau is the Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) Macau leg, running from March 14 to 25.
