Tom Alner was down to just 8,000 in chips on Day 2, and managed to survive in a tough spot with the aggressive Brian Yip splashing around to his right. Once that danger had subsided, Alner opened up his game, and with a little luck, was able to come away with the win.

Macau is fast becoming the Poker capital of the world overtaking Vegas. The big money cash games i keep reading about all seem to happen in Macau. Never heard of the place until about 5 years ago.
