18人参赛，100万港币买入费（128799美元），一个小规模，但是极度重量级的亚洲扑克巡回赛-马尼拉超高额百万赛在菲律宾举行。

这个锦标赛吸引了顶级牌手，如Joe Hachem, Sam Trickett, Andrew Robl, Philipp Gruissem, Nam Le和“泡沫男孩”David Benefield，但是最后的冠军却归属于美国牌手Joseph Cheong，带走了第一名奖金1042万8千港币（1343122美元）。

Cheong目前职业生涯的现场锦标赛收入已经达到7981768美元，这让他位居历史排行榜第30名，在Jason Mercier之后。这个数字最令人吃惊的地方是他仅仅是从2009年年中开始参与现场巡回锦标赛赛事。

这次是Cheong在2013年第三次打入决赛桌。上一周，他刚在世界扑克系列赛-亚太区5万美元买入高额赛中收获亚军，奖金为51万 1千澳元（534776美元）。

这次胜利，让Cheong赢得了600点年度牌手积分。加上上周他赢得的425点，Cheong现在的积分总和为1025点，让他位列第45名。

Joseph Cheong Wins Manila Millions Super High Roller

A small, but incredibly stacked field of 18 put up the HK $1 million buy-in ($128,799) for the Asian Poker Tour Manila Millions high roller event in the Phillipines.

The tournament featured pros such as Joe Hachem, Sam Trickett, Andrew Robl, Philipp Gruissem, Nam Le and eventual bubble boy David Benefield, but the title ultimately went to American pro Joseph Cheong, who scored the HK $10,428,000 ($1,343,122) first-place prize.

Cheong now has $7,981,768 in career live tournament earnings, putting him in 30th place all time right behind Jason Mercier. This number is even more impressive considering that he has only been playing on the live tournament circuit since the middle of 2009.

This was the third final table of 2013 for Cheong. Last week, he finished runner-up in the World Series of Poker Asia Pacific AUD $50,000 high roller for AUD $511,000 ($534,776).

For the win, Cheong earned a modest 600 Card Player Player of the Year points. When added to the 425 points he earned last week, Cheong now has a total of 1,025 points, good enough for 45th place overall.
