A Macau, l’action high-stakes se fait de plus en plus folle. En marge de la Macau Poker Cup organisée par PokerStars, les plus grosses tables se sont formées avec Sam Trickett, Tom Dwan, James Bord et consorts… Barry Greenstein serait prêt à quitter les grosses parties de Limit de Los Angeles pour y jouer une grande partie de sa bankroll.

En attendant, le Main Event a consacré Patrick Lee, 27 ans, habitué du circuit, au bout de 9 jours de compétition regroupant 1632 inscrits (et non joueurs, le re-entry étant autorisé…). Une belle victoire qui montre le succès du poker en Asie et en Chine en particulier.
