Local player Quan Zhou defeated Nick Petrangelo in heads-up play to win the HK$206,000 Single-Day High Roller at PokerStars Championship Macau for HK$3,645,000 (~US$469,090).
At the PokerStars Live poker room at the City of Dreams, a total of 50 players ponied up the buy-in.
Another 12 players opted to fire the optional second bullet within the first eight levels to create a 62-entry strong field and total prize pool of HK$12,152,000. Zhou claimed the title after less than 14 hours.
Zhou, a well-known 32-year old Chinese high roller regular, has plenty of final tables at the former Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) to his name and two victories in smaller events, but the big title was missing thus far on his poker resume.
