Nicholas Wong Eliminated in 2nd Place (PHP 3,732,000), Hoang Anh Do Wins!
The final hand of the night has just been played out in dramatic fashion as a 2012 APPT Cebu champion has now been crowned.
It started with Nicholas Wong limping the button. Hoang Anh Do then made it 120,000 from the big blind. Back on Wong and he would now pop it to 220,000. Do made the call and the two would take to a flop.
Flop:
On the flop, Do checked and Wong threw out 220,000. A call from Do and a would hit the turn. This card would see both players check and the would be flicked onto the felt, completing the board on the river.
Do would again check and it would be on Wong. It didn't take long for Wong to announce he was all in. It was a touch over 1,000,000 in chips to Do, with the Vietnamese player having Wong well covered.
Do tanked for around two minutes before deciding to make the call. When he announced the call, Wong turned over and got to his feet. At this point Do shouted out in enthusiasm as he turned over for a better two-pair then his opponent.
And with that, Wong goes home in a bittersweet 2nd place, while Do becomes our champion!
