The US$102,500 buy-in Asia Championship of Poker shot-clock super high roller tournament has concluded in Macau with German poker pro Dietrich Fast taking home the main prize of US$2.16 million after besting a stellar field of 79 that included notable names like Jason Koon, Bryn Kenney, Tim Adams, Daniel Dvoress and Steve O’Dwyer.

It is Fast’s biggest career win yet, taking his live tournament career earnings to $6.2 million.

Fast, holding a 5 to 1 chip advantage, faced off against Steve O’Dwyer in the heads up and whilst the two top players generated plenty of excitement it was too big a hill for O’Dwyer to climb, and he fell in second place for a pay-out of $1.54 million.
