Taiwanese poker star Carlos Chang has won the Asian Poker Tour (APT) Macau Main Event

Taiwan's dynamic poker star has Asian Poker Tour (APT) Macau Main Event.

Carlos Chang, who can always been seen in his trademark sunglasses, beat off stiff competition from a sizeable field of 268 entrants to bag the top prize at the HK$25,000 (approximately £2,070) buy-in event.

The poker star bagged himself a whopping HK$1,913,200 (£158,405) when he showed the skill and temperament of a seasoned pro to overcome Winfred Yu at heads up.

Chang was certainly reeling from his performance, which saw him knock out none other than start-of-day chip leader Richard Zhu.

This proved decisive as it gave him a 7:1 lead over Yu – a significant lead to say the least.

The final hand came soon enough when both players checked a flop of JD, 10S and 4H. Yu then attempted a shove at a bluff with QS and 4S but Chang had one more surprise up his sleeve with 10D and 8D.

Aaron Lim meanwhile, the Australian star, came in a respectable fourth place, securing a prize of HK$358,700 (£230,439)
