Takarabe went about accumulating chips steadily throughout the tournament, although he remained in the shadows of erstwhile chip leader Bryan Huang prior to the final table. Huang put in a dominant performance, riding on the momentum of his Emperor Series success last month and making amends for his disappointing performance at the Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) Macau, during which he suffered a high fever and had to be hospitalised.
