A mainland salesman became the king of baccarat yesterday when he won HK$15 million in a Macau gaming competition.Yan Jun, a Hubeinese who often visits Macau, beat eight other contestants in the last round of competition, which distributed a record HK$20 million in prize money.
Five of the contestants were from China, with the others from Hong Kong, Macau, the United States and Holland. The Hong Kong participant, Edward Ng Wing Biu, came fourth.
Yan's winning tip is to bet boldly. "If your bet is not big enough, you cannot win." He added:"I go to Macau quite often, and usually bet about several thousand [Macau] dollars to more than a hundred thousand each time."
Yan, who is a salesman in the mainland, won HK$470,000 in the baccarat competition himself.
Players had HK$100,000 as principal for the final session, of which HK$50,000 was self funded and HK$50,000 provided by the organizer.
The company said almost a thousand participants took part in the game.
