Wai Kin Yong Wins Event #5 $50,000 Short Deck and $800,000
After the most dramatic final table seen so far at the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Super High Roller Series Sochi, Wai Kin Yong has emerged victorious, seeing off Phil Ivey heads up to claim the trophy and $800,000 first prize. Battling coolly through six of the toughest opponents that could be found, Yong entered what turned out to be an attritional heads up battle with a big chip deficit, but with blinds pressure rising, a crucial late-stage double through set him up for eventual victory.
A prize pool of $2,500,000 was split amongst the eight players (from 50 total entries) who returned for Day 2; a recap of today’s incredible action will follow.
