ACOP Runner Up Andy Chan Sits Down
Ying Kit 'Andy' Chan, runner up in the first ever Asian Championship of Poker Main Event in Macau, just sat down to join the fun here in Seoul.
Chan finished second for a grand total of $457,712, or 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars after an epic six-hour heads up battle with Xing Zhou. This heads-up, covered by yours truly, will forever be remembered due to its crazy finish. Both Chan and Zhou played small pots for over six hours before they ultimately decided to go all in blind on the final hand. The money was split evenly, despite Zhou having a big chip advantage, and he was fortunate enough to take home the title after that final all in.
We'll see if Chan is up to big things here today, but it will be a while before he can be in a similar position again like back during that glorious day in Macau. Interestingly enough Chan is seated to the immediate left of Michael Kanaan who finished third in that exact same event back in 2012.
