Nam Le bested an impressive field of competitors and took down the 2006 Bay 101 Shooting Star tournament and 1.17 million dollars in the process. Nam also secures an entry to the WPT Championship, worth $25,000. As usual, we'll have a rundown of the final table and the hands that busted people out.
2nd Place - Ravi Udayakumar: loses after he calls an all-in from Nam Le with a board of Qc-7d-4c-3s-As. Nam Le turns up A-7 for two pair, and Ravi mucks his cards.
3rd Place - Danny Smith: gets all-in with Ravi Udayakumar pre-flop. Ravi has Kd-Qh and Danny Smith has pocket sixes. A Queen comes on the flop and Danny Smith is eliminated.
4th Place - David Williams: moves all-in short-stacked and is called by both Udayakumar and Nam Le. The river is a King and Nam Le wins the pot with Ks-6d. Williams and Udayakumar both muck.
