As we mentioned earlier, once the deal was made the play became extremely loose as everyone was tired after a day that was already more than 13 hours long. When all was said and done, there were just two players left: Neal Thornton and Rong Xu. They played all of 3 hands heads-up before Rong was crowned the champion of Event 5!
Event 5 Champion: Rong Xu, $10,425 plus the Champion’s Trophy
Event 5 Champion: Rong Xu
2nd place: Neal Thornton, $9,125
