Outplaying a field of 184 players, Xing Zhou took down PokerStars inaugural 2012 APPT Macau: Asia Championship of Poker main event, taking home a hefty prize of HKD 3 547 500 (US$ 454 807).
After an intense five-day action, Zhou went into heads-up with Ying Kit Chan with a substantial lead of 4 860 000 to 664 000. Nevertheless, it took him over six hours to become the event champion, and the winner was decided after the duo decided to chop the remaining prize pool despite having uneven stacks, and to go blind to determine who would be awarded the trophy.
In the end, the final table results (*with the two-way deal) were:
1 Xing Zhou (China) - HKD 3 547 500 (US$ 454 807)*
2 Ying Kit Chan (Hong Kong) - HKD 3 547 500 (US$ 457 807)*
