Day 6 Started
Welcome back to the 2013 Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP) HK$100,000 Main Event for the resumption of heads-up play between Korea's Sunny Jung and Hong Kong's Devan Tang.
Yesterday an ACOP Main Event Champion was supposed to be crowned, but following fast play on the previous days and a starting 100-big blind average chip stack at the final table, everyone knew that the final day may not be so final by day's end. Although there were some quick eliminations of the short stacks, play slowed down considerably mainly due to the great structure of the event.
After nearly 12 hours of play, the tournament would be halted as both players, staff and media knew that a further six hours of play was a real possibility. Returning today sees Jung and Tang locked in a near even heads-up match with stacks that are 134 and 120-big blinds deep respectively.
