The tournament, held on April 2-10, reached a total of 1,329 entries.
“I was quietly confident about reaching 1,000 players,” said Danny McDonagh, the recently promoted PokerStars Director of Live Operations in Asia-Pacific.
“This year the popularity of the Macau Millions is so much greater, particularly within the region,” continued Mr McDonagh. “Poker is really taking off in Asia.”
The event was won by Chinese Taipei’s Hung-Sheng “Shaq” Lin who was awarded HK$ 400,000 (us$ 51,484) for his triumph.
