Steven Kang (Laurel, MD)

Steven Kang (Laurel, MD) would get his second cash of the series after he was just eliminated by William Kopp.  Kang's A Q could find any help against Kopp's 10 10, and Kang would be left to collect his $1,726.

Kang cashes in the opening event of the series ($300 No Limit Hold'em), finishing 14th for $1,270.  With that pot, Kopp is just over 1,000,000, the first player to reach that mark in the field.
