The PokerStars LIVE at the City of Dreams poker room completed ACOP Platinum Series V over the weekend, with the four-day series drawing a total of 543 players and HK $1,441,038 in prize money.
The HK $5,500 Main Event easily surpassed its HK $500K guarantee with a field of 214 runners and a prize pool weighing in at HK $963,000. The HK $231,300 top prize went to Peter Au who beat a final five of all Hong Kong players, including regulars Calvin Ho and Red Dragon winner Kenny Leong.
