Eventually, Crane (A-A) would also dispose of Tyng Low (K-3) in 3rd ($128,063) to take a more than 2-to-1 chip advantage over Gary Wong into heads-up play.
Following a brief battle, the defining hand of the final battle was played after Crane was dealt Ah-5h to Wong’s 10-6, with both players subsequently all-in on a 10h-8h-7s flop. With the turn and river producing a 9h and 2c, Gary Wong had to be satisfied with a runner-up finish worth$203,394, while Russell Crane was crowned the 2013 Borgata Fall Poker Open champion.
