A round-up of the action at the World Poker Tour’s visit to Sanya and Montreal including victories for Qian Zhi Qiang, Maxime Heroux and Jonathan Duhamel.

China’s Qian Zhi Qiang has taken down the World Poker Tour (WPT) Main Event in Sanya, China.

It was a dominating performance by Qiang who came to the final table as the chip leader, picking off six opponents like a falcon plucks fat pigeons from a telegraph wire morning conference.

The pot of gold at the end of this particular rainbow was $1.4m courtesy of 888 entrants. The strong turnout shows that as long as the poker operators dodge the many regulatory minefields there is wealth to be made in this interesting part of the world.
