Starting a final day with two tables, as opposed to just the final table, is always a daunting task. It's a simple equation of having to bust twice as many players to make it through the day. Well, to say that today went twice as quick as expected is an understatement.

The day began with 18 players all hoping to become the champion, but of course, only one player could take home the HK$1,123,000 first-place prize, lift the Macau Poker Cup: Red Dragon trophy and claim all the glory that goes along with such a title. Fortunately for Japan's Yoshitaka Okawa it is he who will go down in the history books as the champion.

Here was your final table:

1st: Yoshitaka Okawa (Japan) - HK$1,123,000

2nd: Zhenwu Wang (China) - HK$784,000
