10K IMP Pairs Winners

Winners of the 0–10,000 IMP Pairs: Yuan Wei Wang and Hua Yang

Hua Yang of Plano TX and Yuan Wei Wang of China won the 0–10,000 IMP Pairs on Tuesday. They’re a first-time partnership and for Wang, it’s only the second time playing in the United States. Both come from bridge-playing families in China and knew each other through family.
Third after qualifying, Yang and Wang posted the second-best scores in each of the final sessions to win by almost 16 IMPs.
“It’s very lucky to get a championship,” Wang said.

Wang recently got invited to play for a professional bridge club in China. “It’s like a soccer club,” Yang explained. While in Honolulu, Wang’s wife took Learn Bridge in a Day.
