The second Elite Trophy has been captured and to none more deserving than Romania's Bogdan Munteanu at the High Roller Championship! Munteanu dominated Jia 3:1 at heads up, and despite both players still deep, the final hand arrived as a flip. Jia three-bet all in holding A♥ Q♣ , Munteanu called with 7♦ 7♣ , the board came 2♠ 4♠ T♦ A♠ 7♠ .

"I am very happy, and the trophy is really beautiful. It's my first time in Asia, first time at USOP, the atmosphere is great, I love it. My friends were coming and told me it's a great spot so I decided to come along. I am from Romania but I was actually in Greece vacationing and I decided to fly over just for this event. It has been a very good year so far for me."

It wasn't an easy ride though for Munteanu who admitted,

"This tournament was very tough, the toughest final table lineup that could have been for me. All players were professional. In the end, I got some good chances and I played well so here we are!"

Munteanu will be jumping in the next event and the main. He plans to stay until the festival's last day.

Stay tuned for the recap.

It's a shove fest at the Championship Event and now it is down to 14 players. After Alex Lindop cracked Pham Truong Giang's aces, Pham plunged to 6 bb then lost it all to Lindop with A♥ 8♦ dominating J♦ 9♠ to finish in 15th place.

Before Pham's fall, Nguyen Trung Ha got chunked to 7 bb by Ledong Zhou when his 8♣ 8♦ dodged Nguyen's A♦ Q♥ overcards. Nguyen recovered some by doubling up through Tianhao Zheng with A♥ 9♦ besting Q♦ 5♥ .

Not so fortunate though for Bui Van Nam who three-bet his last 16 bb on A♣ T♠ then failed to improve against Jun Zhao's K♦ K♠ that even landed a set.

Cracking aces is always brutal for the holder while its all smiles for the lucky one. That was the case at the Championship Event with Alex Lindop three-betting all in with Q♦ T♦ that ran into Pham Truong Giang's A♥ A♠ . However, the board favored Lindop as it spread K♦ 7♦ 2♠ 4♥ 5♦ for the winning flush to double up.

Several hands after, Trong got cheeky and opened with 4♣ 5♠ in mid position, big blind Duong Dac Dung defended, the checked the flop then on a turn board 3♥ T♠ 8♣ K♣ , Duong bet, Trong shoved, Duong wasn't going anywhere with K♦ 9♠ top pair, Trong was drawing 4♣ 5♣ . The flush didn't come on the river 8♥ .
