Vaswani Wins!
2 years ago
After an absolutely dominating heads-up performance, Ram Vaswani has captured the bracelet in the LHE Shootout event. The Crazy Horse absolutely destroyed Andy Ward, playing an aggressive style and reversing Ward's chip advantage with lightning speed.
On the final hand of heads-up, Vaswani raised to $60,000 and saw Ward re-up to $90,000. Vaswani called and the flop came A
J 2. Ward bet out and was called, and the turn was the 8. Ward bet out again and Vaswani raised him all-in, letting out a whoop of exhultation when his opponent called with A
T
to the Hendon Mobster's K Q
for the king-high flush. Ward was drawing dead, and after the meaningless river card was 5, Ram Vaswani had won his first WSOP bracelet!
Vaswani will take home $217,438 for his performance and also receives the exclusive opportunity to talk to a PokerListings.com reporter, while second-place Andy Ward receives $124,816 and no conversation. Congratulations to both finalists!

Van River'd

Just a few hands back from the level break, Ahn Van Nguyen raises from the button and Ram Vaswani calls in the big blind, and the flop comes A 6 5. Vaswani checks to Nguyen, who bets out $30,000. The Crazy Horse raises to $60,000 and Nguyen calls. The turn is the 8 and Vaswani bets out. Nguyen moves all-in for $110,000 total and shows A 6 for two pair, while Vaswani is chasing clubs with K 8. The river card is the 7 and Anh Van Nguyen flinches like he's been shot, a heart-attack second-place finisher and recipient of $83,538.
We're now heads-up between Andy Ward and Ram Vaswani, with Ward holding about a 1.5-to-1 chip advantage. Stay tuned!
