Although most super stars in the poker world are in Las Vegas at the moment, there are some who instead have headed to Macau in China for the 2013 GuangDong Ltd Asia Millions (hosted by PokerStars LIVE at the City of Dreams). On Tuesday, a HK $250,000 buy-in tournament (a warm-up tournament to a HKD 1 million buy-in tournament that starts today) started and saw a field of 45 players, who created a HK $10,743,750 (approx. $1.39 million) prize pool.

Only the top five players made the money and Nick Wong took home the top prize of HK $4,298,000 ($550,000) after defeating defeating Team PokerStars Online's Isaac Haxton heads-up for the title. Wong had a massive chip lead when heads-up play kicked off, and it only took him a few minutes to defeat Haxton.

1 Nick Wong HK $4,298,000 (US $550,000)
2 Isaac "Ike" Haxton HK $2,579,000 (US $334,935)
3 Philipp Gruissem HK $1,719,000 (US $223,246)
4 Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier HK $1,289,000 (US $167,402)
5 Tore Lukashaugen HK $858,750 (US $111,428)

I love this event being called a warm up! The massive first prize of over $500,000 and its still only a warm up. Congratulations to Nick Wong on winning this warm up event. Phillip Gruissem in the money again

and it is very cool to see that these Chinese win because they are a very well dissiplinado people and with a very well directed conduct and are always facing the bad and that China is very controlled and the individual does not have much voice I think it can be bad an exhibition like this of the individual as the government may want to with the game in the country so
