Edward Sabat Wins 2008 APPT Macau Main Event

Edward Sabat came to our attention early on day one with his entertaining play and friendly demeanor, and he would remain prominent in the chip count page until the final cards were dealt.

Sabat will look back at his tournament and the defining moment which came late on day three where he eliminated two players in one hand with his pocket aces to storm to the top of the leaderboard.

He entered today's final table with the second most chips and wasn't afraid to mix up his play. Some unique betting lines meant he was always unpredictable and dangerous to his opposition. At one point Sabat was on the short stack but fought his way back into contention and never looked back. He was prepared to be aggressive and happy to gamble, right up until the very end when he called off with a flush draw which landed on the river to deliver him the coveted trophy and first place prize of $453,851.

Congratulations to Edward and to all of our final table participants.
