David Jackson (Atlanta, GA) and Michael Wang (Livingston, NJ) were the last two players with chips, so they both have secured their seats in the Championship event. Both of these guys play poker for a living and they’ve just earned a 90% discount on their seats in the big one.
Michael Wang cashed in both Events 1 (NLH) and 2 (Omaha H/L), so he’s on a hot streak. He’ll be back at it again tomorrow, playing whatever tournament catches his eye.
