Danny Tang defeated Lun Loon in heads-up play to win Event #5: $50,000 Short Deck in the Super High Roller Series Europe at Merit Crystal Cove Resort and Casino in North Cyprus.

The event drew 32 entrants to create a prize pool of $1,600,000, with Tang taking home $640,000 for the victory.

Jason Koon made another deep run but finished third for $256,000. Seth Davies and Paul Phua rounded out the top five finishers.

Tang��s victory came on the strength of his eliminations of Davies and Koon at the final table, a run that gave him a 3-1 chip lead going into heads-up play against Loon. Loon and Tang clashed for about an hour, and the big moment came when Tang��s queen-jack outdrew Loon��s ace-king for a straight to seal the deal.

Event #6 Gets Underway

Seven players remain in Event #6: $50,000 No-Limit Hold��em, and Timothy Adams is the leader going into Wednesday��s Day 2 finale. The sixth event of the SHRS Europe series drew 43 entrants for a prize pool of $2,150,000. The winner will take home $731,000, and the returning players are guaranteed at least $86,000. Cards go in the air at 1 p.m. local time.

Adams is followed by Sam Greenwood in second for a final table that will feature three Canadians, including Daniel Dvoress in fifth. Koon sits in third on the leaderboard and he will look to continue his great run at the Triton Poker/SHRS combined series, where he has six cashes so far. His last three trips to the final table have resulted in a third-place finish, and he will try to find a breakthrough with his first victory of the series on Wednesday.

Also qualifying for the Day 2 finale are Russia��s Artur Martirosyan and Viacheslav Buldygin, as well as SHRS Europe Event #1 winner Tom Vogelsang.
