Brian Wang comes into post-dinner break play with the chiplead and a brand new pair of partypoker-branded Monster DNA Headphones.
The Torontonian built up 140,425 before the break and after the big stacks were counted, his was deemed biggest.
Good thing, since the WPT was giving away the gear.
Nutty Québécois Philippe D'Auteuil just bluffed off all his chips to Brian Wang betting betting more than a third of his stack with a flush draw on an board, then piling the rest in when the river bricked.
Wang called it off hesitantly with and didn't show until it was clear D'Auteuil held just queen high.
Wang is now comfortably in chip boss position as the former EPT London finalist D'Auteuil settles up with his massage therapist and makes for the exits.
