Yuguang Li is the latest Red Dragon Macau Cup champion after defeating Hong Kong’s Yunye Lu, in heads-up action, to take the HK$1,848,000 first prize.

China’s Yuguang Li has won the PokerStars sponsored Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) Macau Poker Cup Red Dragon Main Event. He defeated Hong Kong’s Yunye Lu in heads-up action to win the first title of his career.

Macau casinos may have experienced the first annual decline in revenues (2014 was the first year that had happened since 2002), and are continuing to plummet like one of those heavyset Angry Birds, but poker seems to be holding its ground.

The latest installment of the Macau Poker Cup Red Dragon event (it seems every single tournament in Macau carries this title) attracted 987 entrants. It made the HK$5 million guaranteed prize pool look like a ridiculous offering. HK$10,339,812 was gathered from the players, and HK$3.5m of that was divided between the top two.
