On the Wizard of Odds web site you state that the house advantage in Asia Poker is nearly 5% while it is much lower for standard Pai Gow poker. Why the large difference? Is it that Asia Poker requires that one's seven cards and the dealer's cards be split into three hands and the player must win two of three to win and the dealer takes all ties (ties are frequent in both the two-card hand and the one-card hand)???

It's because Copies (tied sub-hands) are won by the dealer, both one-card and two-card. (Four-card hands also, but these are not significant.)
