Richard Tang Eliminated by Thijs Hilberts

Mar 22, 2025

Having doubled two times previously, Richard Tang then finds himself in dire shape when he is at risk with the Club AHeart 4. That’s good for top pair on the Heart AClub 8Spade 6 flop, yet he is on very thin ice. Thijs Hilberts has Diamond 6Heart 6 for bottom set, which holds on the Club Q turn and Diamond Q river.

The players talk about the hand after all is over and Hilberts exclaims “he has to fold, fifteen big blinds?!” Only 29 players remain, the end of Day 1b is one elimination away.

Thijs Hilberts – 750,000 (94 bb)
Richard Tang – Eliminated
