In his second time attending an OPT event, Silas Tsang took his first OPT victory.

But, as is normal in the OPT, the night was hardly over. The second game had yet to be played. It was before the games started that the two Co-founders found that $5 extra had been added to the prize pot. Without anybody putting a claim to it, they left it in, creating a total $36.50 prize pool for the thirteen players.
