had two flagship events: the HK$100K High Roller, and the HK$16,500 Main Event. And if it wasn’t for our new Main Event champion
’s performance this week will be remembered for a while. Having entered the finale as the chip leader, he would go on to finish second out of a 513-strong Main Event field to win HK$1,016,700 ($129,588), just four days after he won the High Roller for HK$1,442,300 ($183,833). That’s one hell of a good week.
But in the end it was Zhou who emerged victorious, claiming the title, the trophy, and
. At one point down to just ten big blinds, Zhou rose to the top of the counts three-handed, then gained a 5:1 chip lead heads-up after he busted
The heads-up battle didn’t take long, with Leow dropping a chunk of chips the first hand of heads-up. Three hands later it was all over when Leow moved all-in for his last 1.2 million from the button holding
“My biggest score came back in 2011, when I came third in the APPT Red Dragon,†Zhou said afterwards. “I come from Beijing, I’ve been playing for nine years, and this is my first big score. It means so much to me. I want to thank my family for being by my side.â€
He believed his biggest asset today was his tenacity. “Even when I was down to ten big blinds, I didn’t give up,†he added.
Let’s rewind to the start of the day. Eight players returned to the Venetian Poker Room today, and with several short stacks we lost a few players early.

Feng had the chip lead three-handed, but several big pots didn’t go his way and he found himself all-in with king-jack off versus Zhou’s pocket queens. Feng hit a king on the flop, but one of the two remaining queens landed on the turn to leave Feng drawing thin. Only a diamond would save him, but alas, the diamond never came.
From there, you know how it went. Leow couldn’t overcome Zhou’s chip lead, nor could he win his second tournament of the OPC 2018. He gave it a right good go, though, didn't he?

Ivan Leow Eliminated in 2nd Place (HKD $1,016,700/$129,589)
Ivan Leow; came close to making history but fell at the final hurdle
Malaysia's Ivan Leow came close to making history, but could not scale the mountainous slopes of Xiaobo Zhou's monster chip stack and heads-up was a brief affair.
Leow dropped a chunk of chips the first hand of heads-up when the two battled over a
river and Leow did well to avoid going bust right there. However, the Malaysian had the nous to check back the river.
Three hands later it was all over. Leow moved all-in for his last 1.2 million from the button and feeling fortune on his side Zhou made the call.
While Leow held a slender lead, all the momentum was with Zhou and the flop came down a decisive
river were merely a formality and Xiaobo Zhou is the inaugural Oriental Poker Championship Main Event Champion.
Zhou came over to give Leow a big hug, before celebrating with his friends on the rail and posing for his winner's photo. Leow gave a wry shrug as if to say 'can't win 'em all' and headed off to collect his HKD $1.01M runner-up prize money, leaving Zhou to bask in the glory of victory.
Chang Bo Feng Eliminated in 3rd Place (HKD $653,900/$83,346)
The very next hand after Zhou pushed Leow off that giant pot and the final table was down to heads-up. The action happened extremely quickly, with Leow folding the button, Zhou limped from the small blind and Chang Bo Feng moved all-in for his tournament life from the big blind, with Zhou calling immediately.
Zhou is hitting hands at the perfect time it would seem, and while the
flop saw Feng briefly take the lead, his hopes were dashed on the
turn, which gave Zhou a set of queens. There was no diamond re-draw on the
river and the final table is now down to two. It is Xiaobo Zhou who will take over a 5-1 chip lead into the heads-up confrontation, so let's see if he can convert it into a win.
Xiaobo Zhou is turning up the heat, with Ivan Leow the man in the frying pan. It started with aZhou button raise to 265,000, and Leow responded with a re-raise to 620,000 from the big blind. Zhou counted out two towers of pink 25k chips and four-bet to 1.68 million and Leow called to swell the pot to 3.4 million.
, Leow checked and Zhou moved all-in, prompting a grudging fold from Leow and increasing Zhou's stranglehold on the tournament.
There was some blind and ante swapping for a couple of orbits immediately following the break before there was a quick burst of action. It was Chang Bo Feng the man to pul the trigger, moving all-in from the small blind and Ivan Leow made a quick call in the big blind.

Chang Bo Feng dropped some chips to Ivan Leow, who gave them to Xiaobo Zhou, though this was not done willingly. It was Leow the initial aggressor, making 225,000 to go on the button. Zhou squeezed his cards individually like he was playing baccarat and then moved all-in for 2.25 million.
After Chang Bo Zheng got out of the way Leow asked for a count, crunched some numbers and then made the call with

Zhou could not bear to watch his fate and turned away to watch it on the big tv screen instead as the dealer spread the
flop. That brought Zhou back to the table rather quickly, and he celebrated his double when the rest of the board ran out
We haven't seen any flops for a while, but there have been some 'raise and take it' hands which have changed the counts slightly. Here are the current counts.
