Tournaments: Chiu wins WPT finale

The last event in the sixth season of the World Poker Tour - the World Championship - has been won by Californian David Chiu.

The 47-year-old, who hails from China, added the title to his four World Series of Poker bracelets and also collected nearly $3.4 million in prize money.

Chiu trailed Gus Hansen ($8.57 million) and Cory Carroll ($6.67 million) on chip count entering the final table but the three were some way ahead of John Roveto ($2.72 million), Tommy Le ($1.95 million) and Jeff King ($1.3 million).
