APT Cebu Main Event: John Tech wins the title
It took a lengthy heads up match to determine the winner of the main event, but finally, in the early hours, Alexey Gatsko was defeated by John Tech. Neither player had a decisive advantage as the final hand began, but with Tech holding AdQd against 88, a preflop raising war ensued. All the money went in, and John Tech had absolutely no sweating to do, as the flop came Td Jc Kd. He took home more than PHP 2,300,000 with Gatsko receiving a little over 1,300,000 for 2nd. Having spent much of the last 5 years travelling the Asian poker circuit, this isn't the first taste of success for John Tech. With more than 20 final tables to his name, he always had a good reputation for running deep, but his first major break through came in the APT Manila in August 2011. He picked up over PHP 2,800,000 for 2nd in the main event there and has been increasing his tally of big scores recently. In early December of 2014 he picked up two more seven figure prizes, and now has a main event victory to his name.
