"It means absolutely everything," Tang told PokerNews. "Being one of the ambassadors for Hong Kong and Asia, and to just win the first bracelet in Las Vegas in a No-Limit Hold'em event. It's just unreal. Words can't describe it,"
This result meant he was the second WSOP bracelet winner from Hong Kong, and the first among Natural8's Team Hot.
