WSOP Bracelet Winner Michael Wang Adds a Ring to His Collection
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is at the Horseshoe Baltimore to live report both the $1,700 Main Event and $3,250 High Roller; however, that is just one of more than a dozen gold ring events that have taken place over the past week. As such, we thought we��d profile some of the preliminary tournaments and those who struck it big.
In Event #5: $400 No-Limit Hold��em 6-Handed, 101 runners created a $33,330 prize pool that was paid out to the top 16 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were An Huang (10th - $869), Justin Liberto (13th - $586), John Gorsuch (14th - $586), and Richard Cresiski (16th - $586).
In the end, WSOP bracelet winner Michael Wang bested Anthony Robert in heads-up play to win the title, $9,522 in prize money, and his first gold ring. The 31-year-old poker pro from New Jersey previously won the 2015 WSOP Event #2: $5,000 NLH for $466,120.
