Macau, China, June 15, 2017 – It was a big day for India’s Zarvan Tumboli who entered the final day of the Opening Event 300K Guaranteed with a stack below average then turned it up to run away with the first trophy and the HKD 74,300 cold hard cash first prize.

Opening Event Champion, Zarvan Tumboli

The APT Macau 2017 kicked off its second day of the series with 36 players returning for the Opening Event at the Macau Billionaire Poker room in the Babylon Casino. At the helm was Japan’s Ryota Hisayama who bagged up the largest stack on the previous day. Hisayama continued his impressive performance, holding on to the chip lead for a good part of the day, then making it into the final heads up round to try and bring it all home. While we know the final results, the roller coaster action leading up to Tumboli’s victory was really the meat of the story.
