Memorable hand:
The final hand, played between two WSOP rookies, was one to remember in large part because it was already over before the turn was even shown. Short-stacked Chang moved all in preflop with Jd-9h, and Do had Ac-7c. The flop of Qc-3c-2c gave Do the nut flush, and that was that, as the Vietnamese-born, Seattle-bred 29-year-old didn’t’ need to see the turn or river to know he’d won a bracelet.

Other noteworthy finishers were Carlos Mortensen in 19th place, David Plastik in 22nd place and Steve Zolotow in 35th place.
