Notable Information

The one tournament that wrapped on Wednesday was the late addition to the schedule, the $50K Final Fifty, a high-roller event for those wanting bigger action. And Danny Tang emerged victorious in the end, taking home more than $1.6 million for it. He won his first bracelet and the second for Hong Kong in WSOP history, after the first in 2018 at WSOP Europe for Anson Tsang.

Tang noted that he cherished the honors and being an ambassador for Hong Kong and Asia. “It means absolutely everything.”  He also said being relatively new to the high-stakes community, it is important to win and do so for Hong Kong. “It’s a dream come true.”

Still in his mid-20s, Tang is aiming for number one in the world but knows it will take time. “I want to go down in the history books. I just want to be remembered,” he said. “Playing poker obviously is my passion and financially has helped me where I’m at right now.”

As the WSOP Main Event moves forward, barely 100 players remain in the running. Payouts remain at $59,259 for the time being but will soon jump by more than $10K.

From yesterday’s summary, 888poker qualifier Dean Morrone entered Day 5 as the chip leader but ended up busting in 159th place.

And the last woman in the tournament, Jill Bryant, exited in 116th place just before the end of Day 4.
