On Saturday last week, Event 2: AU$2,200 No-Limit Hold'em took center stage at Crown Melbourne and the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific as 215 players took to the felt to create a AU$430,000 prizepool.
Day 1 would be a fast-paced affair that saw just 31 players sneak into Day 2 that played all the way down to the final 10 when play was halted prior to the final table due to a health concern of Aik-Chuan Nee. Returning today, the final 10 competitors would all have their eyes locked onto the AU$107,500 first prize and coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
After doubling up early, Fred Chaptini became the official final-table bubble boy when his 
was cracked by Nee's 
.
Then, chips passed back and forth for close to two hours before a quick flow of eliminations saw Michael O'Grady, Feng Zhou, and Sam Ruha all eliminated in three consecutive hands before Samuel Ngai joined them on the rail three hands later after losing a race.
One of the craziest hands of the tournament — if not the entire WSOP Asia-Pacific — then saw Peco Stojanovski on the rail when he battled blind on blind against Nee. Nee limped the small blind holding the 
, and Stojanovski checked his 
as the dealer fanned an 
flop. Nee bet, and Stojanovski called to see the 
fall on the turn. Nee bet again, with Stojanovski once again making the call. The river landed the 
, and Nee bet out 48,000 before Stojanovski moved all in for 148,000. Nee snap-called holding a straight flush, and that demolished Stojanovski's full house.
After riding his luck multiple times, Martin Kozlov ran out of lives as he succumbed in fourth place when his 
couldn't outdraw Junzhong Loo's 
. The three remaining players then swirled chips between them before a short-stacked Luke Spano committed holding the 
against Loo's 
. Although he turned a flush draw to be drawing against Loo's top pair, Spano was unable to spike a spade and exited in third place, leaving Malaysia's Loo (932,000) and Nee (358,000) to battle it out for the country's first bracelet.
Nee began the heads-up battle closing the gap before Loo pushed his lead out further. Chips continued to be exchanged between the two, but after a hand that saw Loo get value from two pair, the final hand played out that saw Nee all in holding the against Loo's 
. The 
flop gave Nee some additional outs, but when the turn and river filled out the and , Nee was eliminated in second place and Loo was crowned the champion.
Final Table Results
| Place | Player | Country | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Junzhong Loo | Malaysia | AU$107,500 |
| 2 | Aik-Chuan Nee | Malaysia | AU$66,400 |
| 3 | Luke Spano | Australia | AU$48,358 |
| 4 | Martin Kozlov | Australia | AU$35,763 |

| 7 | Sam Ruha | New Zealand | AU$15,867 |
| 8 | Feng Zhou | Singapore | AU$12,470 |
| 9 | Michael O'Grady | Australia | AU$9,946 |
For Loo, this is not only his first WSOP bracelet, but also his country's, as Malaysia had yet to claim a WSOP title. What makes it more memorable for Loo was that he defeated his good friend Nee heads-up — someone he actually taught how to play the game.
Congratulations to Loo for winning his and Malaysia's first WSOP gold bracelet, and for collecting the AU$107,500 first-place prize.

Hand #204: Junzhong Loo opened his button to 32,000 and Aik-Chuan Nee three-bet shoved all in for his last 236,000. Loo instantly made the call and the cards were tabled.
Nee:
Loo:
With Loo in commanding shape, Nee would need to spike one of the last remaining twos in the deck to stay alive.
The dealer spread a flop which actually increased Nee's outs as any ace of six would now give him the best hand.
The turn of the changed little apart from eliminating the chances of a chop, and when the repeating landed on the river, Nee was eliminated in 2nd place for an AU$66,444 payday as Junzhong Loo was crowned the Event 2 Champion!
