PokerStars Macau at Casino Grand Lisboa hosted the Macau Poker Cup (MPC) June Special from June 18-20. The weekend had 67 players stepping away from World Cup fever to participate in the featured HKD $5,000 No Limit Holdem event with a HKD $350,000 Guarantee. PokerStars sponsored Wing Cheong Chong from Hong Kong won the event along with HKD $115,500 in prize money.

Players from the region certainly remember the name Chong as he had just recently placed second in the APPT Macau Main Event last May. The local favorite is well known for his maniac-like aggression and he was running over the field in the late stages of the event. It seemed as if Chong’s aggressive play had tilted his opponents as the final hand saw his opponent moved all-in preflop with Q4 and Chong called with KT. The board didn’t improve either players’ hand and King high would be enough to give Chong the victory.
