Stephen Song - Event #12 Winner
Stephen Song captured his first World Series of Poker gold ring on Saturday at the Harveys Lake Tahoe, providing a crowning milestone to go along with an already-incredible start to his Circuit career. The 23-year-old ran through a field of 156 entrants in Event #12: $400 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo to win $13,901 along with the golden hardware.
“I just started grinding the Circuit more often… I mean, this is the first year I kind of took a break from school, overall, and just focus more on the poker,” said Song. “This is kind of working out so far.”
“Kind of working out,” may be an understatement. The modest, young gun now has a 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st-place finish thus far on the 2018/19 WSOP Circuit tour. Song had a very profitable run at the most recent stop, Horseshoe Hammond. All in all, his cashes so far this season combine for a total of $162,680 in earnings.
With such a stout stat list in such a short period of time, more is certainly in store from the New York native. In fact, Song may be set to make another run at Harveys Lake Tahoe, as he bagged in Flight A of the Main Event. The turbo victory gives song a nice confidence booster going into Day 2.
