Francis Fan (L) & Colten Yamagishi (R), chopped E7

Event #7 is in the books after Francis Fan and Colten Yamagishi decided on a heads-up chop of the money. They were essentially even in chips after Fan sent Bash Ramahi to the cage in 3rd place but Fan took the official win while Yamagish was second.

Fan was among the leaders for most of the final table, but Yamagishi’s trip to the podium had a more circuitous path. He was the short stack at the table until he went on a tear, catching a double through 5th place finisher Alexander Richmond when Richmond’s overcards turned a bigger pair to Yamagishi’s pocket sevens but Yamagishi hit a straight on the river.

That started a run up the counts for Yamagishi that saw him in a big lead when they were three-handed. Fan then sent Ramahi out to even things up, and the players agreed to the deal. It’s worth adding that Yamagishi jumped into this one after a brutal beat in Event #4 sent him out in ninth place with kings into aces.
