MPC26: Feng Wen Chen wins Baby Dragon, denies Celina Lin unification title

MACAU, CHINA, February 11, 2017 – Feng Wen Chen defeated Team PokerStars Pro Celina Lin on Saturday night to claim the Baby Dragon title.

The Taiwanese businessman’s win earned him HK$915,000 after outlasting a record-breaking 602-player field. In total, 72 players cashed for a share of the HK$4,204,368 prize pool.

“My wife has come to so many tournaments and supported me for so long, I’m really happy to finally win one for her.” said Chen.

While the 53-year old Chen was celebrating his first poker title — quadrupling his career poker earnings in the process — it was still very much about Lin in the aftermath.

Okada Manila pushes back grand opening to end of March

Gaming tycoon Kazuo Okada’s new casino resort Okada Manila is facing yet another delay.

This time, the oft-delayed integrated resort has pushed back the date for its grand opening to “the end of March 2017.”

If you recall, Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) chairman Andrea Domingo announced several weeks ago that the $2.4-billion property “is slated to have its full opening on Feb. 17,” while Philippine-based developer Tiger Resort, Leisure and Entertainment Inc. previously stated that the formal opening would take place at the “end of February.”

Okada Manila opened its doors to the public last December 21—an event referred to by the venue’s promoter as a “preview period.” The resort launched its casino operations on December 30, after it secured the approval from the state gambling regulator.
