Saipan poker player Victorino Torres scored $416,000 after winning the PokerStars Asia Pacific Poker Tour Macau event.
Torres had to outlast and outplay a field of 342 players at the Grand Lisboa Hotel and Casino in Macau in order to win.
“With some luck my way and a lot of help from the Lord, I am truly thankful for the win,” said Torres. “I represented the Northern Mariana Islands to the best that I could and I just played my best poker.”
Torres got lucky at the final table when going all-in on the three-hand pot, winning enough chips to push him to second place in chips, far better than the eight place he started with.
