Fan You Spins it to Win Event #2: $400 NLH "The Opener"
Despite being down to his final big blind on the final table, Fan You mounted a comeback to win his first World Series of Poker Circuit ring and $76,100.
The tournament started on Thursday with over 1,500 entries, and You outlasted all of them, closing it out late on Sunday night.
"I'm really confident in my short-stack play," said You. "I know my ranges, and I think they were under-defending. I felt good about my chances."
Despite being left with a single big blind, he doubled and tripled up multiple times, quickly finding himself heads up for the title. His run good continued when the final hand was a flip, and his pocket nines held against the king-jack offsuit of Auguste Shastry.
"I want to thank my girlfriend Luqi and my parents for always supporting me," said You.
Congratulations to Fan You for winning his first Circuit ring, claiming his biggest score, and grabbing a spot at the WSOP Tournament of Champions.
