After less than five hands of heads up play, Nghi Van Tran (also known as Henry) bettered Sherif Saad.

Nghi Van went all in with Ace of Hearts Ace of Diamonds and Sherif bet everything on Ace of Clubs Queen of Hearts. The community cards came down 2 of Diamonds 5 of Clubs 4 of Diamonds Queen of Clubs 2 of Hearts. As runner up, Sherif’s share of the prize pool was $2690!

But the grand prize of $3,400 and a champion’s bragging rights go to Nghi Van, who played dominant poker throughout the event!

After more than seven hours of play, the WCC Event #9 is down to two players when Jim Loyens busted. Nghi Van Tran was holding King of Clubs King of Diamonds and Jim’s hole cards were Jack of Clubs 10 of Diamonds.

Although Jim hit the jack on the flop when the first three community cards came down Jack of Hearts 5 of Diamonds 7 of Spades, he wasn’t helped on the turn. The King of Hearts sealed his fate. The river was a 6 of Diamonds.

And now we are down to our final two competitors, Nghi Van, and Sherif Saad.

After Ryan Jensen raised 45,000, Endrit Geci pushed all of his chips into the pot. Ryan nodded his head: “I call.”

Ryan was holding Ace of Spades King of Hearts. Endrit’s hole cards were King of Diamonds :QS.

When the first three community cards came down 10 of Spades Ace of Hearts Ace of Diamonds, Endrit uttered, “I have an out.”

Jamie Sequeira was the first to earn a seat at the final table, at the WCC Event #9, but was also the first competitor to bust once he got there. Unfortunately, he was knocked out of the competition while I was processing the photographs of the 10 finalists.

When Tyler Young temporarily excused himself from the table to stretch his legs, and back, I inquired what had happened to Jamie. He explained that Endrit Geci had bettered Jamie, after Jamie had gone all in.

Tyler, sporting a big grin, then added, “Are you going to pay me a share of your wages for helping you to write your article?”

“Only if you spot me a percentage of your winnings?”

Tyler laughed and agreed that we should both keep our respective bounties.

The very next hand, Tyler was all in. He was called by both Sherif Saad, and Francois Tarrab.

Tyler was holding pocket sevens, 7 of Hearts 7 of Clubs. And Sherif had Ace of Hearts Jack of Clubs, while Francois’ hole cards were Jack of Spades Ace of Diamonds.

The community cards came down 4 of Hearts 10 of Diamonds 8 of Diamonds 2 of Diamonds 3 of Spades.

Tyler pumped his fist, turned around, and looking at me, passionately proclaimed: “Now there’s something you can write about!”
