Berkley PhD takes his first WSOP title and $343,618.
After two long
days, the nine finalists were set for the final table. At the start, Karlo
Lopez enjoyed an impressive chip lead. But, nine hours later, all of the chips
belonged to Chen.
The two finalists battled back and forth for three
hours during heads-up play. Rich Zhu had the chip lead about midway through
play, but failed to maintain the advantage. Repeatedly, Chen was the more
aggressive player. He either won the majority of his pots because he sensed
that Zhu was sometimes timid - or perhaps it was just that Chen was dealt
stronger cards. Whatever the reason and whether it was pure math or not, as
tough an obstacle as Zhu proved to be, Chen seemed to make the most of every
situation by calling, raising, or folding - and being right most of the
time.
The final hand of the tournament provided some excitement as Zhu
was dealt 10-5 versus Chen's A-4. The flop came 7-4-3 giving Chen middle pair
and Zhu an inside straight draw. Zhu's final bet went into the pot on a
semi-bluff, but he failed to connect with either a pair or the straight
draw.
