That was the only time I risked my tournament life while behind. Luckily, I paired my queen on the flop and from there I doubled up and never looked back. He tanked so I was thinking that I was probably ahead but when he called, he showed ace-king and I had ace-queen. The button player raised on my big blind, I had around 18 big blinds and I shoved. JT: My turning point hand was when I went all in behind in Day 4. I didn’t need to play aggressive to win a pot. It’s like the APT structure, deep, very good. JT: Actually they didn’t redraw the seats on Day 3, Day 4, and Day 5 so by Day 3 and Day 4 I already knew who was aggressive, the style of each player, and I memorized their game.

SMP: Can you tell us a bit more about the tournament? How did you build this victory? I recall you were chip leader entering the final table. It was a very big event and a very big cashout. John Tech: (with a huge smile) I still feel like I am dreaming. Congratulations! What’s going through your mind? How do you feel? Somuchpoker: You just won the Macau Billionaire Poker Hope Cup Main Event topping a huge field of 826 entries for over HKD 3M, which is nearly US$400,000.
