<img align="right" src=http://admins.liquidpoker.net/staff/DeFraG/31_08_2008/apt.jpg style="margin:5px; border: 0px solid black;">Macau seems to be the place to be regarding poker events this week. While the APPT Macau (Asian Pacific Poker Tour) just started, the APT (Asian Poker Tour) Macau ended yesterday. While the names of the events could not have been picked worse than this, having the two events in the same week made sure a lot more players were interested in coming to asian city. The final table of the APT Main Event ($5300 buy-in), held at the Starworld Galaxy Hotel and Casino, had 8 players contesting for the $500,000 first prize.

The final eight looked as following:

    Seat 1: Casey Kastle - 456,000 chips
    Seat 2: Michael Pedley - 132,000
    Seat 3: Joon Hee Yeah - 160,000
    Seat 4: Chong Wing Cheong - 454,000
    Seat 5: Yevgeniy Timoshenko - 318,000
    Seat 6: Quang Nguyen - 315,000
    Seat 7: Julio Diaz - 315,000
    Seat 8: Rober Karian - 419,000


In the end, Timoshenko appeared to be the most fortunate, he knocked out 5 out of 6 opponents before he got heads-up (2 being behind, twice having the opponent dominated and one coinflip, all of which he won). In the end he got heads-up with Joon Hee Yeah, the 20-year-old Russian having an insane chip lead:
Timoshenko - 2,301,000
Yeah - 257,000

On the final hand, Timoshenko raises preflop, Yeah reraises and Timoshenko moves all-in over the top with QcQs. He gets called and Yeah shows his KdQd. The flop brings out some emotions as AdJd6c falls down, but turn 8h and river 3h are both meaningless and Yeah busts out on second place, collecting $250,000, while a 20 year old Timoshenko cashes in for $500,000 .

"I'm very fortunate to have won this," said Timoshenko after the event. "I ran extremely well. The final table was a pretty tough line-up. I'm really ecstatic that I finally won a main event."

This wasn't Timoshenko's first victory, he has been a very successful player online playing as "Jovial Gent" on Pokerstars when he won a Sunday Million back in 2006 and he's had numeral cashes since.
