SEAT 5: Alexandre Chieng, 33 – Shanghai, China [1,137,000]
Alexandre Chieng has been a regular on the Asian poker circuit since 2011 and is no stranger to the last stage of competition where he’s now made 13 final tables in Official Asia Player of the Year events. Despite his consistency in getting there, the 33-year old cosmetics company CEO has yet to win a title. In fact, Chieng has yet to test his Heads Up skills as he’s never finished better than third place. An 8th place finish in the APPT Macau Main Event would represent Chieng’s biggest monetary score but he’s clearly hoping to end his trophy drought as he’ll unbag the third largest chip stack on the Final Table.
