APPT Macau: High Roller final table set ... at last

Watch APPT Macau 08: High Roller Day 2 on PokerStars.tv

The final 10 finally became nine after a dramatic day two in the APPT High Roller.

It’s a day that will go down in the annals of PokerStars.net APPT history. A day that the APPT came of age, and the APPT Macau High Roller carved out a reputation as the region’s premier poker event.

More than 11 hours ago, 28 players took their seats for day two of the event (including Team PokerStars Pros Joe Hachem and Barry Greenstein), but the drama didn’t really begin until the clock ticked past 9pm when, inexplicably, the remaining 10 players all agreed to condense the two five-handed tables into one 10-handed table.

However, that decision resulted in the ultimate game of cat-and-mouse between the 10 combatants: PokerStars Sponsored players Eric Assadourian, Van Marcus and Ivan Tan; chip leader David Steicke, Andrew Scott, Johnny Chan, Nam Le, Quinn Do, Will Ma and Charles Chua.

After four hours, in which the short stacks of Johnny Chan, Ivan Tan and Van Marcus all came under threat, it was last year’s winner Eric Assadourian who was finally felted.

Assadourian's gallant run comes to an end.

He moved in for his last 17,500 but Nam Le’s re-raise to 31,000 sounded a warning to Assadourian, and the other players who folded. The Aussie showed As-5s, while Nam Le revealed kings. The board ran out 9d-6c-9s-Jd-2h, and it was over. The final table comprises:

Nam Le

Seat 1: Nam Le, Los Angeles, CA, USA (107,000 in chips): One of the most successful tournament poker players of the past four years, the cousin of dual WPT main event winner Tuan Le has won more than $4.3 million. Underlining his consistency is the fact that he’s won only one major title in the time – the 2006 WPT Bay 101 Shooting Stars event, worth almost USD $1.2 million. He’s cashed 15 times at the WSOP including third in a $1500 No Limit Hold'em event at the 2007 WSOP. The 25-year-old also won the 2006 Scotty Nguyen Poker Challenge II and most recently finished fourth at the 2008 WPT LA Poker Classic adding a further $411,770 to his burgeoning bank balance.

Quinn Do

Seat 2: Quinn Do, El Monte, CA, USA (105,000 in chips): Born in Vietnam and raised in Seattle, Washington, this 33-year-old studied criminology at the University of Washington and once considered making a career as an investigator. Also a former restaurant owner, he turned his focus to poker in 2004 and within 12 months had won a WSOP bracelet (in the $2500 Limit Hold’em event). Other notable finishes on his tournament CV include second at the Bellagio Challenge Cup Championship in 2005 and most recently, a runner-up finish to Phil Ivey at the 2008 LA Poker Classic WPT Championship, worth just over USD $900,000. He is a good friend of Nam Le, who has also reached the final table of this event.

David Steicke

Seat 3: David Steicke, Hong Kong (391,500 in chips): A player who has made an indelible mark on the PokerStars.net APPT, he hadn’t played in a major poker tournament until last year’s APPT Seoul main event. Just weeks later, he charged through the field to finish third in the APPT Macau High Roller Event, winning more than USD $110,000. Since then, the 46-year-old trader has shown that he’s no one trick pony. He finished fourth in the $2000 No-Limit Hold’em event at the 2008 WSOP, winning USD $166,333. Originally from the South Australian town of Murray Bridge, Steicke went within a whisker of another final table when he took 10th in the APPT Macau main event that just concluded, taking home USD $16,209.

Will Ma

Seat 4: Will Ma, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada (186,000 in chips): What is it with Waterloo in Ontario, Canada? The city of barely 100,000 residents continues to turn out world class players like Team PokerStars Pro Steve-Paul Ambrose, PokerStars EPT Dortmund winner Mike timex McDonald, Matt ch0ppy Kay (who made day two of this event) and now 20-year-old Will Ma. His online name cutiepi314 is a play that only a maths student would make (from pi = 3.14). Under that name, he’s won more than USD $250,000 in tournaments online, while his live CV is highlighted by victory in the 2007 €10,000 Grand Prix De Paris main event, worth €422,560 or more than USD $570,000.

Ivan Tan

Seat 5: Zhong Wei ‘Ivan’ Tan, Singapore (60,500 in chips): Last year, Ivan Tan decided to coincide a holiday with his wife with the inaugural APPT Macau tournament, and won a seat into the main event in a mega satellite. After three days, he’d outlasted all but one player to finish runner-up and pocket USD $129,536. Prior to last year’s event, he’d enjoyed the occasional cash game but had little tournament experience. Despite making his home in the emerging poker market of Singapore, the 27-year-old has developed a real affinity with Macau. He placed third in the recent HKD $9600 Red Dragon Tournament at PokerStars Macau.

APPT Macau: Chinese poker torture

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 12:50:49 -0800

We have now ticked past three-and-a-half hours of this 10 seated “imitation” final table. The larger stacks are no doubt regretting their decision to agree to redraw to a 10-handed game, when if the five-handed structure had been maintained, “on the balance of probabilities,” everyone would be tucked-up in bed by now.

Johnny Chan, short-stacked for most of this time, requested a new dealer at one stage, when he was dealt aces, but the second card released by the dealer, hit Chan’s tiny chip stack and flipped face up.

The two-time WSOP main event winner’s frustration was plain. Some 30 minutes later however, when Will Ma raised from the button, Chan moved-in from the small blind for his remaining 27,500. Ma felt he was priced-in and called with J-3. Chan showed a “lucky” pair of eights, and even a three on the flop presented no danger to the American, as a third eight also appeared, doubling him up to almost 60,000.

Johnny Chan, gets through a sticky moment.

Andrew Scott quipped to Chan, “I thought we weren’t going to have to worry about you tomorrow, Johnny.” Chan responded: “It’s not me you have to worry about,” as he pointed to David Steicke, and then said quite loudly, “Sticky!” Everyone in the tournament enclosure laughed uproariously at this light-hearted moment.

APPT Macau: Slow boat to the final table

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:25:39 -0800

There is one heck of a lot at stake at this “unofficial” final table of the PokerStars.net APPT Macau High Roller tournament. The remaining 10 players have been foxing with each other for close to two hours; unwilling to put everything on the line, when the potential for much greater rewards lie only one elimination (and not theirs) away.

Players have been making small jabs at the blinds and antes from position, and often being quite happy to give up pots to small re-raises pre-flop.

The most action took place when Andrew Scott raised from early position, was re-raised by Will Ma on the button, and after some consideration, came back over-the-top for close to 50,000.

Ma played the “how much do you have?” game for a bit, before consigning his cards to the muck. “Why can’t you give me cards like you gave him?” Eric Assadourian asked the dealer, while indicating to Scott. The other players mumbled their agreement to the implication that the Australian had held rockets.

Will Ma, aces (allegedly) keeping him honest.

In another hand, David Steicke performed a delayed re-steal from the big blind, on Nam Le, who was on the button. After what seemed like the first flop we’ve seen in a whole Chinese dynasty, Steicke led out on the nine-high board for 10,000, forcing Le, who had only 70,000 chips, to fold his hand.

Steicke flashed a nine as he mucked his cards, eliciting another comment from the PokerStars Sponsored player Assadourian, “I’m giving you a new name … 'Always Hits Steicke’.” Team PokerStars Pro, Joe Hachem, who was standing around at the time, responded immediately, “no, he’s The Machine”.

Nam Le, in the shop for some "machining"

APPT Macau: Every rail has a Silverman lining

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 09:50:53 -0800

Steven Silverman has joined the railbirds on the other side of the ropes here at the Grand Waldo Casino. The American held the shortest stack for the majority of the time since Mike McDonald’s departure, and only had one move; all-in.

However, he had recently felt a bit more comfortable following a double-up courtesy of PokerStars Sponsored player, Van Marcus.

His larger stack was short-lived however, as continued aggression of the all-in kind, ran into the pocket aces of PokerStars Sponsored player Ivan Tan. Silverman had a pair of sevens, but their one-in-six chance to improve did not eventuate, leaving him gasping on 2200 in chips.

Steven Silverman, the small blind leading him all-in

Next hand, Silverman’s small blind and ante ate up 1600 of those, so he committed the remaining 600 to the pot. Andrew Scott, found an ace and queen to take into battle against Silverman’s 7-5.

The board connected with neither player’s cards, seeing Silverman exit the PokerStars.net APPT Macau tournament area, three places short of the high-roller payouts. His elimination also saw the players redraw for a 10-handed final table, and play will continue tonight until one more player is out on the “official” final table bubble.

Meanwhile, David Steicke's chip wall continues to block all-in-vaders (yes it's bad, but it's starting to get late ...)

David Steicke, will he or won't he make the final table this time?

APPT Macau: Stop the clock … on Timex

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 08:45:02 -0800

The well-oiled machine that is David Steicke continues to hum, having just eliminated another player in Mike timex McDonald. Steicke, who continues to build a very long line of chips, that PokerStars Sponsored player Eric Assadourian calls the Great Wall of China, looked up timex’s all-in on a turned board of 5h-9s-7s-9h

Steicke showed pocket jacks, and McDonald turned over Ad-Kd, needing one of six cards to stay in the APPT Macau High Roller event. The river bricked with a 2s, and timex was stopped. Carve another victim up to Steicke.

Mike timex McDonald, sent for "machining"

Since then, the shortest stacks are Steve Silverman and PokerStars Sponsored player Ivan Tan second in this same event in 2007. Over the last 30 minutes or so, these two players have been taking it in turns to move-in all their chips.

Since both have stacks that can still significantly damage the other players, so far nobody has been willing to call them. Meanwhile at the same table, a bit of friendly banter has been taking place between Andrew Scott and Steicke.

Scott has renamed “The Machine’s” chip stack, “The Great Wall of Steicke,” and promised him he’d take it apart piece by piece … tomorrow. “I’ve got a plan for you, David,” the Australian said. Steicke, as usual, appeared unperturbed behind his well-constructed plastic edifice.

"The Great Wall of Steicke"

APPT Macau: Hachem clocks-off, thanks to Timex

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 07:50:27 -0800

The last Team PokerStars Pro in the APPT Macau High Roller event field, Joe Hachem, has been eliminated in 13th place.

Short stacked after losing a big pot to Andrew Scott, Hachem successfully committed his chips twice to scoop up the blinds and antes and was trying to make it three in a row when he pushed in for 10,000 in the small blind. But Mike timex McDonald called before Hachem’s chips had hit the felt, and showed Ad-10h to have Joe’s Ah-9h dominated.

Emad Tahtouh works the mic, but to no avail for Joe Hachem.

Joe asked PokerStars Sponsored player Emad Tahtouh to call the flop, which came 5s-Qd-4c. The turn was the 3s and river 5c, sending Hachem to the rail just four spots short of the money.

All the action has been at table 20 where in the past level, PokerStars Sponsored player Van Marcus doubled through McDonald, then David Steicke lost a big pot to McDonald but recovered to put a huge dent in the stack of PokerStars Sponsored player Ivan Tan.

We're getting used to watching David Steicke stack chips.

At table 14, Wei Will Ma is wielding his stack effectively. He recently overtook Steicke for the overall chip lead. Russian Yury Kerzhapkin has also been eliminated after moving all-in pre-flop with pocket nines and looked well placed against Nam Le’s pocket fours. But the board fell 5d-As-6c-3c-4h to give Nam Le a set on the river.

Wei Will Ma: Tidy stack and very tidy player.

There are 12 players remaining and three more to be eliminated before the final table has been decided. Blinds are at level 11 (1000/2000) as the next break approaches.

APPT Macau: Big stacks, good players, no hurry

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 06:25:04 -0800

In last year’s APPT High Roller event in Macau, it took five hours to eliminate the last six players before the final table line-up was decided.

The writing is also on the wall that the remaining 14 players are in no hurry to commit their chips as we tick into level 10 (800/1600 with an ante of 200) on day two of this year’s High Roller event at the Grand Waldo Casino.

After Danny Wong’s remaining 24,000 in chips went in with pocket jacks only to find Quinn Do with pocket aces, the 16 players were redrawn into two tables of eight.

At table 14 were PokerStars Sponsored player Eric Assadourian Quinn Do, Nam Le, Johnny Chan, Wei Will Ma, Yury Kerzhapkin and Charles Chua. The line-up at table 20 featured Team PokerStars Pro Joe Hachem, PokerStars Sponsored players Van Marcus and Ivan Tan, Steve Silverman, Julian Powell, David Steicke, Mike McDonald and Andrew Scott.

Julian Powell finishes 16th.

We’ve since lost one player from each table – Powell’s short stack went in with the worst of it holding Qh-8h against Tan’s As-Qs, and stayed behind with the board running out 6s-6c-10c-4s-4d.

Javad Abrahams’ hopes of reaching successive final tables (he was eighth in the APPT Macau main event) ended when he raised Johnny Chan’s bet of 10,000 on a board of 3c-10s-4d-Kd to 22,000.

Eighth and 15th – not a bad week for Javed Abrahams.

Chan called, and showed pocket fours for a set, with Abrahams’ Kh-Jh needing help. However, the river came the 7h, and the impressive youngster from the UK was out in 16th position.

Then just before players took their break, Johnny Chan found himself in a pot with Wei Will Ma that would cost him most of his stack. With the board showing Kh-3c-4d-2c, Chan checked, Ma bet 12,000 and Chan called.

The river was the 10c, Chan again checked, Ma bet 20,000 and Chan stopped in his tracks. “I think you have ace-five,” he said before calling. Ma showed Kd-Jd for top pair, Chan mucked and stormed from the table.

"Your kings are good": Johnny Chan takes a hit.

There’s been little change to the leaderboard with David Steicke (177,000) narrowly ahead of Wei Will Ma (170,000), Charles Chua (140,000), Mike McDonald (121,000) and Quinn Do (120,000).

APPT Macau: Anyone for fishing?

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 06:10:02 -0800

After an early flurry of all-ins at the beginning of the day, the average stack size has increased to the point where most players are comfortable playing small-ball poker. Only a couple of players are occasionally being forced to put everything on the line with an all-in.

Andrew Scott, prefers poker to fishing

One of those players is Andrew “I won a race!” Scott, who was just all-in on a hand with PokerStars sponsored player, Van Marcus. With the board showing Kc-4c-5s, Van asked Scott: “Should I call? I’ve got three seven of clubs.” “You can go fishing all you like, Van,” Scott replied, “you won’t get anything from me.” Marcus considered this comment only briefly before saying: “I got enough,” and folded his cards. Marcus continued talking however, this time to Team PokerStars Pro Joe Hachem, also sitting at their table; “I’m a nice guy to talk to though, hey Joe?” Hachem just laughed in return.

Eric Assadourian, "Where's my 'one time'?"

Eric Assadourian also wandered by the same table and noticed Hachem was below the average stack size. “C’mon Joe,” said his countryman, “one time!” However, after considering his statement briefly, he changed his mind: “Actually, one MORE time Joe! For the rest of us, it’s ‘one time,’ but for you, it’s ‘one more time.’ Again, Hachem was just left to chuckle at the dry Australian humour pervading the otherwise general quiet at the tables.

APPT Macau: My name is Do, Quinn Do

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 05:07:54 -0800

Team PokerStars Pro Joe Hachem was weeks away from becoming 2005 WSOP main event champion when Quinn Do saluted the judge in the $2500 Limit Hold’em event.

Quinn Do, a silent assassin at the poker table.

Like many of his contemporaries, Do was born in Vietnam and arrived in the US as a youngster, with his family settling in the Seattle area. He studied criminology at the University of Washington and considered a career as an investigator before turning those skills of deduction to the poker table.

They’re working a treat on day two of the PokerStars.net APPT Macau High Roller event. Do’s stack just grew to within a few thousand of chip leader after he bet Johnny Chan to the river and showed a set of fives to win a huge pot against the 1987-88 world champion.

And just as quickly as Wei Will Ma took half of Do’s stack when he shoved all-in and made a flush against Do’s two pair, he was back up to 120,000 when he eliminated Xuan Nguyen. The last of x2then’s chips went in with As-8d on a flop of 3h-7c-10h only to find a smiling Do show pocket aces.

Andrew Pantling has also left the tournament area after he made a stand with pocket nines, only to find Charles Chua wake-up with pocket queens. Pantling took the lead when the flop landed Ad-9h-4h but Chua hit a two-outer Qd on the turn to take his stack above 100,000 for the first time in this tournament.

The Malaysian-based Aussie is now well placed to make consecutive APPT Macau final tables after finishing runner-up in the main event that wrapped up two days ago.

With 17 players remaining (eight short of the final table), David Steicke still leads from Canadian Wei Will Ma (135,000), Mike McDonald (135,000), Quinn Do (120,000) and PokerStars Sponsored player Eric Assadourian (103,000).

Ivan Tan, second in last year's APPT Macau main event, final table bound again?

Team PokerStars Pro Joe Hachem is on 35,000, while PokerStars Sponsored players Ivan Tan (75,000) and Van sirens Marcus (55,000) are holding firm.

APPT Macau: Andrew, don't split those 10s!

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 03:48:47 -0800

There are 21 players still in the APPT High Roller field at the Grand Waldo Casino in Macau: an appropriate figure given that former professional black jack player Andrew Scott has just taken out Roger Spets.

"Go you good thing!" Andrew Scott rides quads to a nice pot.

After Team PokerStars Pro Joe Hachem made it 2200, Scott called, Spets pushed all-in for 16,000, Hachem folded and Scott called, showing pocket 10s, which were in a race against Ac-Qs for the Swede, now living in Malaysia.

Spets connected on the flop, but so did Scott (As-4d-10c), and just to make certain of it, the remaining 10 fell on the river to give Scott quads and send Spets, the only player to make two APPT final tables last year, to the rail.

Matt Kay ran A-9 into the pocket eights of the ultra-aggressive Xuan Nguyen, and the Canadian was on his way up the escalator for one of the cash games on offer at PokerStars Macau when the board came 8d-7h-3s-2s-5c.

Tyler brainwash Cornell has also been eliminated – he pushed for 23,000 from the small blind after Quinn Do’s initial raise. The US-based Korean showed pocket queens, with Cornell needing help (A-9). Do hit a queen on the flop to leave Cornell needing plenty of help.

Up and down start to day 2 for Johnny Chan.

Johnny Chan has been riding the roller coaster in the past 30 minutes – he was up to 80,000 after Xuan Nguyen folded to Chan’s bet of 15,000 on the turn of 2d-Qc-Kd-8s.

But Nguyen struck back soon after, committing his stack of 21,000 on a flop of 8d-Jd-8h, with Chan making the call. Nguyen showed Kc-Jc for two pair, while Chan was chasing the flush with Kd-Qd. He failed to connect, taking Nguyen back to 65,000 and dropping Chan to 50,000.

Barry Greenstein bows out in 20th place.

And the Team PokerStars Pro contingent has been reduced to one after the elimination of Barry Greenstein. After Quinn Do raised to 25,000, Greenstein shoved over the top with Do making the call. Both had live cards – As-Jh for Do and Ks-9s for Greenstein. The Jd on the turn was the killer card for Greenstein, who bowed out in 20th position.

Van Marcus, eyeing his second APPT final table.

However, the PokerStars Sponsored contingent is going strong, with Assadourian (109,000), Van Marcus (60,000) and Ivan Tan (60,000) all still in the hunt for a spot at the final table.

APPT Macau: From one master to another

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 03:15:14 -0800

If you work regular hours, then 9.30am might be time for a coffee break; but the life of a Team PokerStars Pro player is a little different. This morning for example, at 9.30am Barry Greenstein was in the lobby of the Grand Waldo Hotel waiting for a van to take him to a PokerStars.net APPT Macau promotional shoot.

Previous APPT shoots of this nature have included bungee-jumping and surfing; this time it was a Tai Chi lesson with a local Chinese master. Also along for the ride was up-and-coming PokerStars sponsored player, Celina Lin, and the face of the APPT final table TV broadcasts, Miss Australia 2006, Erin McNaught.

APPT hostess, Erin McNaught, in the Garden of Lou Lim Loc

After a short ride, the van deposited this group outside the “Jardim de Lou Lim Loc” in the heart of Macau’s casino district. This garden is something of an oasis in the middle of Macau’s concrete jungle, and to the naked eye it is very peaceful … but for the noise coming from the apartment and casino construction sites right next to it.

Waiting for Greenstein, Lin and McNaught, in the garden, was a blue suited Tai Chi master and a TV crew. A change of clothes was in order, and soon all three were wearing the black garb of novice players in this Chinese martial art.

Erin McNaught, Barry Greenstein and Celina Lin learn "The Graceful Crane".

Then underneath a Chinese pagoda, which itself, was standing on stilts over a lily-pond, the master proceeded to teach Greenstein, Lin and McNaught a basic Tai Chi pattern to perform in front of the cameras.

Lin and McNaught seemed to pick it up pretty quickly, with Greenstein needing a little extra attention from the master, although he had no trouble learning the Tai Chi “push” move … something he is very familiar with as a master of poker.

The Team PokerStars Pro player felt so comfortable in his Tai Chi suit, he decided he’d wear it today at day two of the APPT Macau High Roller tournament. Remember that “push” move, Barry!

From "The Graceful Crane" to the "Chinese All-in!"

APPT Macau: High Rollers eye final table seat

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 02:05:48 -0800

David Steicke and Eric Assadourian prepare for battle.

The race for the HKD $3.7 million first prize in the PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Macau High Roller event steps up a notch with the remaining 28 players eyeing a spot at tomorrow’s final table.

David Steicke, the Australian now based in Hong Kong, continues to show a clean pair of heels to the fields and takes the chip lead into day two ahead of Mike timex McDonald and Australian Eric Assadourian.

Incredibly, Assadourian (the defending champion) and Steicke filled two of the top three placings in this event last year – could lightning strike twice for the PokerStars Sponsored player in 2008?
