I didn’t have any time to watch this game as it finished at the same time as the Main Event. I did manage to have a quick chat with runner-up Bash Ramahi, who related the crazy hand that essentially ended it all.
It was limped preflop with Ramahi on four-deuce and Tang on four-three. Things got a bit crazy when they both turned trip fours, then rivered a four-card flush on their kicker cards. That left Tang holding the winner with a three-high flush over Ramahi’s deuce-high flush. That left Ramahi on fumes, and it was over shortly after, with Nathan Tang taking it down.
This was Tang’s 9th live win, and the score should fit nicely into his top five once it’s converted to USD.
