Wenhao Ying is a 24-year-old grad student who recorded his first tournament cash just over 2 years ago. He’s mostly self-taught, learning the game by watching training videos online. Those videos must be very good because he held the chip lead most of Day 3 and went wire-to-wire here on Day 4.
He warmed up in the SixMax first, finishing 5th for $8,420, against some of the best players in the game. He did the same at this final table, up against some of the best and he held his own.
For his efforts in this event, he will collect $200,000* and take home his first Borgata Open trophy. This is his first reported tournament win, but certainly won’t be his last!

Matt Wantman entered the day 2nd in chips and that’s where he finished. For 2nd place he’ll collect $172,449, making this his new best live cash, pushing his career earnings over $1.33 million.
Hopefully this will help erase the memory of his early exit from the 2016 WPT BWPO Championship final table.
