Registrations for APPT Macau are now over.

Last year 352 players arrived at the Grand Waldo Hotel and Casino chasing a slice of poker history ever bit as momentous as Johnny Moss’s World Series of Poker victory in 1970 and Chris Moneymaker’s WSOP success in 2003, which spearheaded the online poker boom.

A shy and soft-spoken 27-year-old from south London, Dinh Le, swept to victory and a life-changing first prize of USD$222,460.

Le’s hard exterior materialised in an often ultra-aggressive style over the three-day event. He listed his occupation as a nail technician – not the hardware variety; his family actually run a beauty shop in south London.

Dinh Le turned over one of the most successful hands in major tournaments of recent years: pocket eights. It was the hand that steered both Greg Raymer (2004) and Jerry Yang (2007) to their respective World Series of Poker main event victories.

Le exemplified the poker dream that the APPT has already provided for hundreds of players from more than 40 countries around the world.
