A look at all the major stories from this past weekend on PokerStars.

Weekend highlights

* CantWinAFlip wins the Sunday Million
* Riffa Kriffa wins the Warm Up
* The LAPT Chile Main Event is down to 32 players
* The Eureka Main Event plays on in Rozvadov

Round up of latest results

We promised a lot when we previewed the weekend on Friday. Seems we got what we asked for. Much of what took place happened in different parts of the world, but let's start with the online realm, our manor sop to speak, and the Sunday Million won by CantWinAFlip.

Every so often the siren in the PokerStars Department of Accuracy in Usernames sounds, sending our Integrity Enforcement Officers into overdrive. Such as was the case this weekend, or would have been had such a department had existed. Because it turned out, as Kristin Bihr reported, CantWinAFlop actually won a good number of flips on his way to a first prize of $174,951.

No such breech in truthiness in the Warm-Up however, won by Riffa Kriffa of the Netherlands. We're not sure what Riffa Kriffa actually means but guess something along the lines of "outlasting a pair of Brazilians while at a final table." Or something like that. David Aydt put it better in his report, which you can read here.

Here are those two results in full:

LAPT

There was plenty of action in Chile over the weekend with Day 3 of the Latin American Poker Tour beginning later today, with the final 32 players working their way down to a final table to be played tomorrow. As our reporters Jack Stanton and Will O'Connor report, Ricardo Matamala holds the chip lead ahead of a field full of revenants. Read their round of yesterday's action here, which contains links to everything that's happened in Viña Del Mar up to now.

Eureka

Meanwhile back in Europe the Eureka Poker Tour is in Rozvadov, Czech Republic from where our man Nick Wright reports.

It's the penultimate day there too as it happens, with 63 players left, led by Daniel Rose. Ivan Luca is among the notables vying for the lead there. Coverage from Rozvadov continues as we speak, all of which you can find here.

MPC High Roller

As if providing some sort of geographical balance, events at the Macau Poker Cup concluded over the weekend with Wayne Jun Wen Yap winning the High Roller event for a winner's cheque of HK$2,292,720. Brad Kain was there at the finish, and had this report. Keep an eye out for an almost weird performance by former EPT Grand Final runner-up Jack Salter and his brother Louis.

Here's that result in full:

Can't win a flip. We've all muttered it in disgust or frustration in the middle of a bad run. Can't. Win. A. Flip. Patience, keen reads, sound play, and good judgment can take a player far in tournaments, but when all is said and done, thousands of dollars in equity can hang on one classic race. Ace-king beating queens. Pocket fives holding against ace-jack. That ten on the flop. That queen on the river. There's no doubt how the U.K.'s CantWinAFlip arrived at this screen name, but after tonight's performance, it might be time to retire it. When everything was on the line, CantWinAFlip won quite a few flips, and banked a hearty $174k to show for it.

5,593 players entered this week's Million, taking the prize pool up to $1,118,600.00. 810 of them earned a share of it, with $174,951.74 set aside for the champion.

Exactly ten hours after cards went in the air, the field was down to its final ten players. With the blinds up to 100,000/200,000, the action folded to CantWinAFlip, who moved in for 9.7 million from the small blind with [Ks][7c]. Daveyboy_197 called off his remaining 2.8 million from the big and revealed [Ah][Td]. However, CantWinAFlip picked up a pair of sevens on the [9c][7s][3h] flop. Daveyboy_197 couldn't catch up on the [6h] turn or the [Jc] river and exited one spot short of the final table, while CantWinAFlip moved in to the chip lead.

Final table chip counts

Seat 1: spearjohn (7,256,143 in chips)
Seat 2: CantWinAFlip (12,847,220 in chips)
Seat 3: Breakchips (1,726,134 in chips)
Seat 4: dirty.brasil (4,526,406 in chips)
Seat 5: M.Strelskaya (8,372,000 in chips)
Seat 6: trajna (2,526,096 in chips)
Seat 7: cxde (4,239,688 in chips)
Seat 8: david owie (5,883,620 in chips)
Seat 9: anjuli777 (8,552,693 in chips)

Cxde took an early hit when Breakchips moved all-in for 2.1 million with [Ac][Kd] and he called with [As][Qc]. Breakchips's dominating hand held up and he doubled to 4.7 million while cxde slipped to 1.7 million. A few hands later, cxde made his last stand with [As][Td], but david owie woke up with [Ac][Qd] and sent cxde to the rail in ninth place. Later in the 100,000/200,000 level, trajna three-bet shoved for 1.58 million from the small blind and Breakchips called, his [Ad][Qh] dominating trajna's [Ac][Th]. Hoever, trajna turned a pair of tens and doubled to 3.53 million, leaving Breakchips on 4.4 million. Two hands later, CantWinAFlip opened for 400,000 from UTG and Breakchips shoved from UTG+1 with pocket tens. CantWinAFlip called with [Ah][Kh] and defied his screen name, winning this coinflip with a pair of kings when the board ran out [Ks][7h][6h][5c][3d], while Breakchips had to settle for eighth place.

After the hand, CantWinAFlip was sitting pretty on 21.2 million in chips, but became everyone's favorite target for a double-through. M.Strelskaya did it with [Ad][Qs] vs. [Qh][Tc] and moved up to 4.27 million. Dirty.brasil did it twice; first his pocket aces held against [Kd][Js] for a 2.7 million pot, then [Ah][Qs] hung on vs. [As][9d] to take him up to 5.5 million. Then, M.Strelskaya came back for seconds, his pocket sevens prevailing against [Kc][Qd] to take him up to 8.2 million. Dirty.brasil, however, could not hang on to those newfound chips for long and open-shoved for 4.8 million with [As][6h]. M.Strelskaya reshoved with [Ac][Jd] and his hand held up on the [7s][5s][4c][Jc][Qc] board, ending dirty.brasil's run in seventh place.

With the blinds up to 200,000/400,000, trajna was below 2 million in chips and called all-in with [Jh][Ts] when M.Strelskaya made a button raise to 1.84 million. Unfortunately, trajna ran headlong into M.Strelskaya's [Ac][Ah]. M.Strelskaya made top set on the [As][Jd][6h][Qs][2d] board and assumed the chip lead with 17.1 million, while trajna departed in sixth place. David owie soon followed trajna to the rail after three-bet shoving pre-flop with [Ad][Qd]. Spearjohn called with [As][Kd] and ran into some trouble when the [Qc][6s][2d] flop made david owie top pair. However, spearjohn was saved by a river king and david owie went out in fifth place.

With four players remaining, M.Strelskaya still led the pack with 21.5 million, spearjohn hot on his heels with 17.4 million. CantWinAFlip picked up [3d][3h] on the button and moved in for 9.8 million, M.Strelskaya answering the call with [6h][6c] in the small blind. It looked like curtains for CantWinAFlip when the flop came down [Qc][Js][8d], but miraculously, the [3c] turned, making CantWinAFlip a set. The [Jh] river improved him to threes full and CantWinAFlip doubled to 20.3 million, leaving M.Strelskaya on 11.7 million.

M.Strelskaya slipped all the way to 3.1 million before staging a comeback. First, he doubled back through CantWinAFlip when his [Js][Td] topped [6s][8h], then did the same with spearjohn, his pocket jacks holding up against pocket eights. Meanwhile, anjuli777 was down to 8 million in chips with the blinds up to 300,000/600,000. Anjuli777 picked up [As][6s] and three-bet shoved, but CantWinAFlip made the call with [7s][7h]. The pocket sevens held up on the [Qd][9d][4c][2d][Qc] board and anjuli777 departed in fourth place.

When three-handed play commenced, CantWinAFlip was the chip leader with 32.6 million, M.Strelskaya held 15.2 million and spearjohn was the short stack with 8.2 million. However, over the course of the next 20 hands, M.Strelskaya closed the gap and took a narrow chip lead with 25.8 million to CantWinAFlip's 23 million. Then, in the largest pot of the tournament, M.Strelskaya opened for 1.8 million with [6d][6c] and CantWinAFlip shoved for 22.9 million from the big blind. M.Strelskaya called, and much to his disappointment, CantWinAFlip revealed [Js][Jd]. CantWinAFlip rivered a set of jacks on the [Ac][8h][7d][3d][Jh] board and rocketed to 46.4 million in chips, while M.Strelskaya was left with only 2.75 million.

Undeterred, M.Strelskaya doubled twice through CantWinAFlip and rebounded to 9.65 million in chips. Then, with the action folded to him in the small blind, M.Strelskaya moved all-in with [7h][8h], putting pressure on spearjohn in the big blind. Spearjohn had a legitimate hand, though, and called off his remaining 5.5 million with [Ah][Ts]. M.Strelskaya's good run wasn't over, and the [Jc][8c][5c] flop gave him middle pair. Spearjohn did not improve on the [Ks] turn or the [9d] river and his run came to an end in third place.

Heads-up chip counts

Seat 2: CantWinAFlip (38,349,950 in chips)
Seat 5: M.Strelskaya (17,580,050 in chips)

The chip counts barely budged for the first ten hands heads-up. Then, on Hand #11, M.Strelskaya opened for a min-raise to 1.6 million and CantWinAFlip called from the big blind. Both palyers checked the [Tc][5d][2c] flop. The turn came the [4s] and CantWinAFlip led out for 1,411,200. M.Strelskaya called. The river was the [Kc] and CantWinAFlip fired another 4.8 million. M.Strelskaya looked him up, only to muck in the face of his [Qc][8c], for a king-high flush.

M.Strelskaya fell to 10 million in chips and on the next deal, CantWinAFlip open-shoved on the button with [4h][4d]. M.Strelskaya looked down at [Ac][Jd] and called. Fittingly, CantWinAFlip had to fade one last coinflip. The board ran out [Td][6s][5s][Kc][Th] and CantWinAFlip's pocket fours held up to win the Sunday Million title.

Congratulations to CantWinAFlip on joining the ranks of Sunday Million champions. He banked $174,951.74 for the win, while runner-up M.Strelskaya earned $130,316.90.

With the Turbo Championship of Online Poker finished and the Spring Championship of Online Poker waiting behind some blocks of ice and snow there is still the Sunday Majors to keep everyone warm. The $425K guarantee Sunday Warm-Up brought 2,322 players into the mix all hoping to taking away a Sunday Major title. After over 10 hours of play Riffa Kriffa would outlast a pair of Brazilians at the final table to take home first place and $73,375.28.

Read on below for Riffa Kriffa's run at the Sunday Warm-Up title.

A fast moving tournament for the Sunday Warm-Up as it reached the final two tables after eight hours of play.

João Mathias "joaoMathias" Baumgarten would find myself in the mix for yet another Major final table. Baumgarten was at the final table here back in November placing ninth along a long list of -COOP final tables. He will be looking to use all that late-game experience and try to turn it into $73,375.28.

Seven minutes before the end of the eighth hour of play, vicenfish, the 2014 WCOOP Event #23 champ that took away $637K, would expire in 11th place, opening up hand-for-hand play.

Angobet would start the ninth hour of play with the chip lead holding 4.87 million chips and blinds at 40K/80K ante 8K. There was no wait for the spotlights of the final table as the first hand back from the five-minute break determined the final nine players. Brazil's Carol "carolventura" Ventura would raise to 205,460 chips as APonakov shoved for 1.2 million. UncleAnte9, in the big blind, did not wish to sit this one out and re-shoved for 2.2 million holding tens [Th][Td]. Ventura looked for something else to do as APonakov flipped up [9s][Ac]. No saving ace on the [Kd] [7d] [5c] [2c] [8d] board meant Ventura and Baumgarten were heading to the final table below:

Seat 1: oceanemm (636904 in chips)
Seat 2: Carol "carolventura" Ventura (3054982 in chips)
Seat 3: XX MUC XX143 (2433066 in chips)
Seat 4: UncleAnte9 (3797242 in chips)
Seat 5: Angobet (4730036 in chips)
Seat 6: Knightsgeee (2284020 in chips)
Seat 7: Riffa Kriffa (1894353 in chips)
Seat 8: João Mathias "joaoMathias" Baumgarten (1626861 in chips)
Seat 9: KING BAIT (2762536 in chips)

Four hands into the final table with the blinds moving up to 50K/100K ante 10K, Angobet went searching to pad the chip lead. Angobet would min-raise from early position as XX MUC XX143 three-bet to 740,000 chips. The chip leader would make the call to see the [Kd][8s][Kh] flop. XX MUC XX143 wasted no time to shove 1.65 million holding pocket aces [Ac][Ah] but Angobet equally quick to snap-call with trip kings [Ks][Jd]. No ace on the turn [Th] nor river [Qh] shipped XX MUC XX143 a bad beat and $3,947.40 for ninth place.

Five minutes later with the blinds holding, Riffa Kriffa would raise to 215,000 as short-stacked oceanemm went all-in for 456,904 chips. Ventura however would re-shove from the small blind for 2.91 million knocking out Riffa Kriffa from the hand. Big slick [As][Kc] for Ventura flipping against oceanemm's jacks [Js][Jd] for oceanemm's tournament life. The flop and turn were clean but a dirty river [9c] [Qd] [9s] [6d] [Kh] sent oceanemm out to sea in eighth place ($6,733.80).

Baumgarten is not the only player here with big final table experience. KING BAIT made the final table of SCOOP 2015's Event #23-L and nearly the Sunday Million. Unfortunately, prior experience needs cards once in a while to advance as KING BAIT held on to short-stack until finally finding a spot. With the blinds moving up to 65K/130K ante 13K Knightsgeee would shove 2.1 million from the cutoff as KING BAIT called all-in for a little less than two big blinds holding [9c][Kd]. Knightsgeee turned up [Ah][Qc] and coasted through the [Qs] [2d] [3d] [2c] [6c] board as KING BAIT earned $11,377.80 in seventh place.

A little over 20 minutes later with the blinds moving up to 80K/160K ante 16K Uncle Ante9 would raise to 352,000 as Knightsgeee made the call from the big blind to see a [8d] [5d] [6s] flop. Both players liked it enough to shove all-in with Uncle Ante9 covering. Knightsgeee had kicker problems holding [Th][8h] to Uncle Ante9's [Qs][8c] and those complications did not improve on the [8s] turn nor [7s] river as Knightsgeee took away $16,021.80 in sixth place. Slightly less than the $23K Knightsgeee received for a fifth place finish here two years ago.

Fireworks would go off right before the start of the tenth hour of play. Six hands after Knightsgeee fell off the horse, Carol Ventura would shove 1.3 million from the cutoff with a small ace [As][2c]. Optimal for Riffa Kriffa's [7d][Ad] as the big blind covered and made the call. No danger of a split after a seven appeared on the turn [4h] [Kh] [4s] [7c] [6h] as Ventura walked away with $20,665.80 in fifth place.

Before the break with the blinds moving up to 100K/200K ante 20K it was the other Brazilian's time to exit the stage. Baumgarten's short-stack of 1.3 million tried to snag the blinds but instead both of them called. Both Uncle Ante9 and Angobet would check the flop and turn but on the [8h] [8s] [Td] [Qs] [Ah] river Uncle Ante9 broke the silence with a 1.1 million chip bet. Angobet folded as Uncle Ante9 showed [9s][Ad] to defeat Baumgarten's [7s][Kh] as João Mathias almost got there in fourth place ($27,167.40).

After the break the final three, Angobet, Riffa Kriffa, and Uncle Ante9 settled into a flow of passing around chips like friends watching a football game. Like all bags of Doritos, someone would eventually get the last one. With twenty minutes left in the hour the blinds moving up to 200K/400K ante 40K, and Riffa Kriffa opening up a big lead, someone finally broke the circle. The chip leader would shove 14.2 million from the button as Angobet bravely called holding [5d][As]. Unfortunately, for Angobet Riffa Kriffa held the kicker advantage as well [Tc][Ad] and carried that lead through the [8c] [6c] [4c] [Th] [9c] board as Angobet earned $39,474.00 in third place.

Heads-up play was not drawn out like three-handed play as Riffa Kriffa's 17.6 million to 5.5 million chip lead was too much to bear. Four hands is all it would take as Riffa Kriffa tried to limp in and Uncle Ante9 was having none of that and shoved 4.4 million chips. Riffa Kriffa immediately called with pocket tens [Tc][Th] as Uncle Ante9 went searching for an ace [As][3h]. The search for ace would need to continue in another tournament as the [Kd] [Qd] [8d] [8c] [2h] board shipped Riffa Kriffa the remaining tournament chips to turn into $73,375.28 in real money for this week's Sunday Warm-Up title!

Sometimes the end of day chip leader is at the top of the counts throughout the day, steadily accumulating throughout to finish on top. On other occasions, like today at the King's Casino in Rozvadov, the chip leader bludgeons their way to the top by winning one or two massive pots.

Daniel Rose is the man who tops the chip charts heading into Day 3 of the Main Event and his lead is massive as he has almost double that of his nearest challenger. His ascent to the chip counts came courtesy of back to back pots in the last level in which the German went from 400,000 to 1,600,000. He slipped a little to end the day on 1,570.000.

In the first of the two big hands he flopped a straight to win a 600,000 pot against Mateusz Martewicz (who folded the flop) and Boris Andreev, who had top pair and a gutshot and missed. Had Martewicz called he'd have rivered his flush and eliminated both players. That was crucial because on the next hand Martewicz, Martin Ilavsky and Rose - who now covered Martewicz played a huge pot.

The fireworks went off on the turn of a [Ts][8s][Jh][5h] board. Rose led, Ilavsky raised, Martewicz shoved for 570,000, Rose re-shoved for over 800,000 and Ilavsky had a decision for his final 400,000. His decision was to fold a set of tens. He folded the best hand as Rose had a set of eights and Martewicz [Kh][9h] for the combo draw. The river was a blank and Rose scooped that chip leading pot.

To be fair to Ilavsky he didn't go on tilt after that hand and staged a late night comeback of his own to finish the day second in chips on 841,000. The rest of the top five is pretty menacing as it's made up of: David Urban (837,000), Ivan Luca (708,000) and Alexandru Farcasanu (643,000).

At the other end of the spectrum Martin Kabrhel (111,000) and Michael Eiler (17,000) will return tomorrow with a short-stack. To see the counts of all 63 survivors click here.

Whilst the Day 3 seat draw can be viewed here.

At 2pm local time the 287 players who'd made Day 2 of the Main Event sat down, all hoping to finish in the top 103 spots to ensure some return on their investment. The bubble would burst just minutes before the dinner break and it was Martin Guth who ensured that 103 players would tuck into their dumplings with a cash to their name.

It was a double bad beat for Guth as not only did he have his pocket jacks cracked by the [Ac][9c] of Karol Radomski but he had a chance to chop 103rd place prize money as there was an all-in at another table. It was Grzegorz Wyraz who was at risk, he was all-in with [Kd][Qd] and in bad shape against Arsenii Karmatckii's [Ac][Kd]. Guth had wandered over to watch the hand and looked on as the board made Wyraz a straight.

Once the bubble burst there followed the usual rush to the exits and among those who cashed in but crashed out on Day 2 were: Lee Mulligan (96th, €1,800), Martin Muslow (91st, €1,920), Adam Jaguscik (82nd, €1,920) and Boris Andreev (71st, €2,120). You can see the payouts so far here.

Whilst they won't be back tomorrow for the Main Event, we will be. Action starts at 2pm CET. You can catch up on all today's action in Rozvadov here, whilst Day 2 action from LAPT Chile can be found here.

11:40am: Day 2 about to start
Level 11 - Blinds 600/1,200 (200 ante)

Welcome back to Viña del Mar, where the last bits of prep are underway before we kick off Day 2 at 12pm. There will be 192 players in total taking their seats today, as we combine both the Day 1A and Day 1B survivors into one field.

We'll need to lose 113 players before we make the money, as only 79 will be able to lock up a guaranteed min-cash of $2,500. However, they'll all have their eyes set on making it through to Day 3 and eventually claiming the $141,785 first place prize.

Uruguay's Francisco 'Tomate' Benitez is out chip leader coming in with 181,800, followed by Sergio Palma who has 167,500. If you want to find out more about each of the Day 1 flights, click here for Day 1A or click here for Day 1B.

The plan is to play down to 32 players today, so the bubble is guaranteed to burst here on Day 2. Make sure you stick around all day to see how it goes down - there's a link at the top for you to refresh the updates. --JS

1:50pm: Day 2 set to start
Level 11 - Blinds 800/1,600 (200 ante)

Welcome to Day 2 of Eureka6 Rozvadov. There were a total of 682 entrants into the Main Event and 287 of those have made it to Day 2. Leading the way is Quentin Dellis. The Belgian, who finished sixth at UKIPT5 Dublin in February, is the only player who'll begin Day 2 with over 200,000 as he bagged up 201,100 to top the Day 1B field.

The plan for today is to play eight levels. The first four of those will be 45 minutes in length and then from level 15 onwards the clock is increased to 60 minutes.

Play will start on time at 2pm. Stick right here for moving day.

Have you seen that movie The Revenant? In it, Leonardo DiCaprio plays frontiersman Hugh Glass; a man on a revenge mission after being attacked by a bear and then left for dead by his backstabbing colleagues. In fact, that's what a revenant is - someone who has come back from the dead.

Well, there weren't any bears here on Day 1B of LAPT9 Chile, but there were plenty of revenants - i.e. players who busted Day 1A and were back today with a revived tournament life. In case you hadn't guessed, it's a re-entry event here at Viña del Mar.

The possibility to re-buy was too tempting for many, and in the end we had a total of 307 entries here on Day 1B, and a total of 565 across both Day 1 flights. That created a juicy prize pool of $737,325, with a handsome $141,785 up top for the winner.

The player closest to that prize at the end of Day 1B is Argentina's Francisco 'Tomate' Benitez, who finished the day as our chip leader with 181,800. That tops Day 1A leader Sergio Palma's 167,500, making Benitez the overall big stack going into Day 2. 102 players made it through from this flight, and in total 79 players will be paid, with a min-cash worth $2,500.

Parts of The Revenant were actually filmed in Argentina, and we had plenty of other Argentinians in the field today aside from the chip leader. Two-time LAPT champion Fabian Ortiz was back again, for one, having busted his Day 1A stack around 6pm. He fared a lot better today and will take 43,900 into Day 2.

We also had two other members of that elusive two-time champ club in Mario Lopez and LAPT Player of the Year Oscar Alache. It was a rocky day for Lopez, who busted his first Day 1B bullet earlier and then bizarrely found himself sitting in the exact same seat once he'd re-entered. His stack was up and down all day, and he ended the day with 47,400.

Oscar Alache, on the other hand, couldn't survive. The best player of LAPT's Season 8 will have to wait a little longer to add to his trophy collection, as he busted his stack midway through Level 9.

The only player representing the red spade in Chile was Team PokerStars Pro Leo Fernandez, but he could never really get anything going here today. He nursed short stacks all the way until the last level of the day before being felted.

After Benitez, the biggest stacks in the room belonged to Javier Venegas (158,200), Luis Alberto Aray LePiche (143,600), Roberly Felicio (126,200), Yoel Palmer (121,400), 
Andres Hemola (110,900), Carlos Polna (109,000
),
Jose Paez (103,300
), and Amos Ben (101,100
). They'll also be joined by Irina Petrova (22,100) and Francisco Belaustegui (28,000) on the lower end of the counts.

Meanwhile, some of the many eliminated players we had today included Bruno Severino, Renata Teixeira, Jorge Cantos, and Pablo Chacra.

Both the Day 1A and Day 1B survivors will combine at 12pm tomorrow for the beginning of Day 2. There'll be a total of 192 players looking to become the next LAPT champ, and blinds will be 600/1,200 with a 200 ante. Make sure you come back and follow the action.

Until then, you can catch up on all of the live updates from the past two days:

It's not often you see an entire poker room stop and applaud for someone they're still competing with. However, when the player in question is as popular as Oscar Alache, it's not surprising at all.

A Chile native who currently sits fourth on the country's all-time money list, Alache has had quite a year. The icing on the cake came right before our Day 1B players here at LAPT9 Chile returned to play after their dinner break:

Alache was officially named our LAPT Player of the Year.

When that message was announced over the microphone, all 200-plus of the remaining Day 1B field started clapping and cheering. Alache looked touched, but remained as cool as ever.

So, how did Alache get to this point? Let's take a look at just some of his results over the past 12 months.

- LAPT8 Chile Main Event - 1st place for $131,962

- Two side event wins

- Six final tables for a combined $70,532

Needless to say, Alache is a very worthy winner of Player of the Year. He also has another LAPT title too, one he won in Peru back in 2014. That means he's on the short list of players who are chasing their third title alongside Fabian Ortiz, Jose Barbero, and Mario Lopez.

And Alache's not done yet - there's still the matter of LAPT9 Chile, in which Alache is still playing.

"I have seven LAPT trophies now, but I also have lots of room for more," Alache said over the mic.

When you've got the talent, and the support of even the people you're playing against, we wouldn't bet against Alache scooping more trophies over the next year.

Congratulations to Wayne Jun Wen Yap!

He overcame this star-studded record High Roller field with 114 entries to take home HK$2,292,720 and etch his name in Macau poker history.

It was back to back hands that ultimately decided the winner.

Yap started the heads up battle with Xixiang Luo with a chip deficit and still managed to dispose of Luo within 10 minutes. The first brought an action flop of [qs][5s][2d] and with Yap holding [5h][5c] for middle set against Luo's [qc][2c] for top and bottom pair the money quickly got in the middle.

Yap's set held and he propelled himself into position of overwhelming chip leader before the final hand followed. All the money was in the middle preflop this time and Yap needed to improve to close out the tournament.

Yap: [kc][7h]
Luo: [7s][7c]

It looked like the hand would go Luo's way as Yap missed everything up to the turn with the cards reading [9d][9c][9h][tc]. The river, however, brought the [kh] spurring cheers from across the tournament floor as Yap clenched the title.

13 hours before that the final table of nine began.

Wei Zhao brought a super-short stack with him and lasted less than an orbit. Zhao moved all in from the small blind after it folded to him for less than four big blinds and Quan Zhou called to put him at risk. Zhao did have the best hand with [9d][4d] but couldn't hold against the [7h][2s] of Zhou when the cards fell [2h][td][7c][ah][jh].

Next out the door was Vikram Nanda. He got all the money in preflop with [jc][td] but couldn't outdraw Louis Salter's [ac][kc]. The [6s][4d][5d][qh][qs] missed both players and Nanda finished in 8th place for HK$340,000.

7th place went to Ya Hui Xu. He got the last of his chips in with pocket aces against Zhou's pocket queens but a queen on the turn would see him hurtling out of the poker room. Xu shook the hands of his tablemates and headed to the payout desk to collect HK$382,000.

Wei Zhang was out in 6th after he ended up on the wrong end of a flip. It was Zhang's [as][kd] against the [ts][tc] of Zhou but the latter would spike a set on the [th][js][3c] and fill up on the [jd] turn to signal the end for Zhang.

Following him to the rail was Louis Salter. After being crippled by his brother Jack only a few hands earlier, Louis was forced all in on his big blind for his last 75,000. His [th][7d] was no match for Zhou's [kc][qs] on the [8d][kd][qc][3s][qh] runout and Louis was eliminated.

Four-handed would last for almost three hours before Jack Salter would join his brother. He had survived several all in hands leading up to the one that saw him eliminated but when he got [kc][tc] in preflop versus Xixiang Luo's [js][jd] he couldn't catch up. Salter scored himself HK$722,000 for fourth place.

And the final elimination before that speedy heads up battle was Quan Zhou's. He got it in good with [as][kc] to Wayne Yap's [js][4c] and while he faded danger throughout the turn, the river saw Zhou pair his jack when the cards fell [3s][5d][7s][9c][jc] to send Zhou packing.

Congratulations again to Yap and to the team at PokerStars LIVE Macau for hosting another spectacular MPC24 High Roller event.

That concludes our coverage of the Macau Poker Cup. Thanks for joining us!

If Day 1A of a poker tournament is an amuse-bouche then Day 1B is a hearty starter. A total of 338 players elected to start their Eureka6 Rozvadov adventure today, easily eclipsing the 219 who played yesterday.

The format, of course, was the same, 10 levels each 45 minutes in length. When they'd been completed just 143 players remained and it was Quentin Dellis who topped the lot. If you recognise the name it's because the Belgian final tabled UKIPT Dublin last month. He finished sixth on that occasion winning € 31,880.

By the time play ended today 27 year old poker professional had built his 25,000 starting stack all the way up to 201,100 and is the only player thus far to break the 200,000 chip barrier. Dellis has been playing for five to six years, professionally for the last three. The bad news for other players is that when Dellis cashes he makes the final table. He's got seven live cashes to his name and the lowest finish of any of them in sixth.

Whilst Dellis was the only player to break the 200,000 chip mark plenty of other players ran up big stacks. The likes of Martin Ilavsky (174,100), Jean-Marc Jelk (168,100), Jonas Lauck (159,300) Amir Mozaffarian (157,300) and Dag Palovic (132,600) will all be well placed when Day 2 starts tomorrow at 2pm CET.

There were also plenty of big names among the near 200 players who busted out during today's action. Martin Kabrhel, who sits second on the Czech Republic all-time money list, couldn't get anything going today. Paul Michaelis, who has a WSOP bracelet to his name, got his hands on a stack but couldn't hold onto it and Antonin Duda (two EPT Main Event final tables) would've given anything to build a stack. He couldn't and also busted out.

They'll perhaps try their luck in the turbo Day 1C which has just started. If they do they may well find themselves at the same table as: Martin Mulsow, Anthony Ghamrawi, Stefan Raab,
Maria Lampropoulos, Marc Radgen or Mattias Ruzzi.

That's it for Day 1B, you can catch up on all today's action here. Day 1C will wrap up around 2am CET and we'll bring you a recap of the final flight at that point.
