Sam Soverel:
Danny Tang:
The flop fell to see Soverel flop outs to a join, but when the fell on the turn, Soverel took the lead with tens and threes.
Tang would need to find an ace, jack, or five to win some portion of the pot, and when the dealer burned and turned the on the river, Tang and has railed paused for a moment and then screamed in excitement as Tang had mad aces and tens with a superior kicker to Soverel to be crowned the Final Fifty champion.
For Soverel, he would take home the $994,072 second-place prize to go along with his fourth-place in the first $50,000 buy-in event of the WSOP just a month ago.
