Taiwan's own Wang Wei Hsiang captured a crushing victory at the PS Taiwan Open, earning a best live cash of NT$ 1,439,000. Only nine players out of the 597-entry field headed back for the Final Day battle with Wang in the lead.
Wang extended his advantage early as he delivered the first two eliminations of the day. It was only at three-handed did Wang briefly lose the lead, only to regain control moments later. One of the defining hands was Chan Pak Kwan's exit in 3rd place, in which he fell with pocket kings against Wang's pocket aces for his tournament life. This cooler situation brought Wang back atop the ranks against final opponent Hoi Man Cheng.
Over an hour of back and forth took place on the felt before a critical pot, where Wang's set 8♠ 8♣ held strong against Hoi's two pair K♥ J♣ on board J♠ 8♥ 4♥ K♠ A♣ , shipping Wang nearly 80% of the chips in play. Just five minutes later, the curtains rung close, Wang with the final victory and PS trophy in hand.
