Winner’s Reaction

"I’m a spin player, but during the last two years, I fell in love with PLO," gushed Nakache. "I like to play a lot of hands, and tournaments are perfect for that. I had the feeling that I could do something in this tournament, and it was amazing. I’m very lucky, and I won a bracelet."

PLO Specialist Tsang in the Mix

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Three-time WSOP bracelet winner Anson Tsang came sprinting towards his table as he didn't know the chips were in play already with only two players seated. By the time he arrived, Tsang was in the big blind and checked after Pushpinder Singh had limped in from the small blind.

Both checked the QJ2 flop and Singh check-called the 9 turn for 400. After the J river, they checked again and Singh tabled the 9432. Tsang had him outkicked with the 9732 and won the pot to start his day.
