Eric 'Slick Ric' Chang Rises from the Ashes to Dominate Record-Breaking WSOPC Main Event

The Largest WSOPC Main Event

The WSOPC Main Event in Austin rewrote the circuit's history with a staggering 2,090 entries. It became the largest stop in the history of WSOPC Main Events with a $1,700 buy-in. This record translated into the prize pool, surpassing the $2 million guarantee to reach a final total of $3,166,350.

Eric Chang's journey to victory seemed nothing short of miraculous. At the start of Day 2, he was 259th out of 267 players and twice dropped to just one big blind during the tournament. Yet, he managed to multiply his stack repeatedly and fought his way to the final table.

When down to the last four players, he faced a massive setback. Holding Q d 6 d, he completed a flush on the board of K d 8 s 5 d 2 d ​​​​​J h, only to run into Anil Jivani's nut flush holding A d ​​​​​T d. Jivani doubled up and gained a massive lead, but Chang regained ground with patient play, ultimately seizing victory in the final heads-up battle.

With this win, Chang takes home his first WSOPC ring and more than doubles his live tournament earnings.

However, his quest for another prestigious title ended prematurely. Jumalon swiftly lost his lead and exited the tournament in 14th place, taking home $19,030.
