After Mike “Mkspresident” Shin exited as the bubble bout in 73rd place, the in-the-money eliminations came at a steady pace and included WSOP bracelet winner Ryan “Joeyisamush” Depaulo (49th – $1,103), Galen “turkmalloy” Hall (44th – $1,237), David “dwpoker” Williams (37th – $1,237), last year’s champ Nathan “surfbum” Gamble (31st – $1,398), Yueqi “anoob” Zhu (18th – $1,990), and “tobi7bobi” (7th – $6,777).

Final Table Action

With six players to start the final table, one of them had to be the first to fall and that was Andrew “WATCHGUY42” Lichtenberger who flush flushed on the river by Chang. A few hands later, Chang continued with another elimination after he turned broadway to send Chris “pdx2nyc” Leslie-Hynan home in fifth place.

“PiggyBear” was up next on the chopping block after their pocket nines were straightened out by Edwin “YungFlipWell” Roman on the river.

With the final three players sitting fairly even, the action was slow for the first two levels until Chang started gaining traction once again, turning a queen to eliminate Ryan “Santasbzack2” Stoker in third place for $35,663.

The heads-up battle saw Chang hold the majority of the chips in play and made quick work of Roman to earn him his second WSOP bracelet.
