The first is Event #6: $1,150 No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE) Accumulator, and the gold ring has headed to Malaysia, after Michael Soyza won the first title of his career, overcoming the German Rainer Kempe, in heads-up action.

605 entrants created a total prize pool over $620,000, and a sparkling array of talent made their way through to the final eight. The reigning World Series of Poker Asia Pacific (WSOP-APAC) Main Event winner, Scott Davies; WSOP bracelet winner, and Australian Poker Hall of Famer, Gary Benson; and the reigning European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona champion, Andre Lettau, all making Soyza work hard for his money.

Davies (7th) and Benson (6th) would bow out early, and a four-way chop was agreed after Huy Pham was eliminated in fifth place. Soyza locked up $120,000, Kempe $76,272, Lettau $69,319 and Liao $59,336. No sooner has hands been shook and we were heads-up. Soyza eliminating both Lettau and Liao after flopping two pair, versus top pair, versus gutterball and flush draw. Everyone missed, Soyza took a 3:1 chip lead into the heads-up clash against the young German, and it wasn’t much longer before he owned every chip on the table.
