Getting to Know Anson Tsang - Hong Kong’s Two-Time WSOP Bracelet Winner
Anson Tsang, also known as Yan Shing Tsang or by his online moniker “Tara@0z”, is a two-time WSOP bracelet winner. He won his first bracelet in the 2018 World Series of Poker Europe, taking home Event #7: €2,020 + 180 Pot Limit Omaha 8-Max.
His second bracelet came just two years later in the recently-concluded 2020 World Series of Poker Online on the GGPoker Network. Tsang took home Event #68: $500 Deepstack No Limit Hold'em [Asia] for $150,460, as well as a package for the World Series of Poker Europe and a $7,500 Natural8 sponsorship.
Anson has been playing poker for 12 years now, ever since he stumbled upon an ad for a free online poker game on Facebook. Since then he has amassed a total of $2,985,414 in live earnings, as per his Hendon Mob page.
“I like PLO and 2-7 Triple Draw. I definitely prefer to play tournaments and enjoy that excitement. They also offered 5 Card PLO live in Barcelona and I loved that very much. It was a fun game as you can hit a lot of boards hard with five cards in your hand!”
“After winning a PLO bracelet at the WSOPE and a Hold’em bracelet on Natural8, it would be great to win a mixed game bracelet in Vegas. I would also like to compete for the WSOP Player of the Year in the coming years.”
