Player Profiles - Tony Ng
It’s only fitting that the $15,000 APPT Macau High Roller Event has a local representative at the final table, and that man is Tony Ng. A 20-year veteran of the game, he lived for a time in California where he played semi-professionally (mainly at the Bay 101 Casino in San Jose, also the home casino of Scott Numoto).
Now back living in Hong Kong, the father of five prefers cash games but could not resist the lure of the ferry trip from his home to the Grand Waldo Hotel and Casino in Macau to try his luck in the first PokerStars.net APPT Macau: Asian Poker Open. Despite limited tournament experience (he won a $1000 buy-in No Limit Hold’em event at the LA Poker Classic way back in 1992), he is assured home town support at the televised final table.
