Yevgeniy Timoshenko
 September 2, 2008, 9:46 am (3 years ago)American-Ukranian Yevgeniy Timoshenko took down the Macau branch of the Asian Poker Tour as the Olympics left China, netting $500,000 and setting a milestone for Asian poker.
Timoshenko was 1st for US$500, 00 and Joon Hee Yeah from South Korea came 2nd and acquired US$250,000. In 3rd place was Rober Karlian from Thailand, who took home US$126,000.
These players defeated maybe the strongest ever competition field gathered in Asia’s history, such as ten-time bracelet winners Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan; highly praised professional John Juanda; 2008 WSOP final tabler David 'Chino' Rheems and APT Manila champion David Saab.
Chris Parker, CEO of the Asian Poker Tour applauded the overjoyed winner Timoshenko at a wildly colorful closing ritual. After that he made a draw that offered 1 free seat to the next event for 1 fortunate player who had pre-registered for the competition on the APT’s official website.
