Mike Wang Scoops Huge Pot to Move Into Chip Lead

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

With a board of {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Mike Wang bet 13,000 into a pot of 18,000. Jonas Mackoff raised it to 30,000 and after tanking for over a minute, Wang pushed his stacks of chips forward and announced "I'm all in." Mackoff made the call and the cards were turned face up:

Wang: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades} for kings with a flush draw
Mackoff: {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for bottom two pair with an open ended straight draw

The turn gave Wang the flush as it was the {A-Hearts} and Mackoff could only knock him out with a river four or three. The river was the {2-Diamonds} and Wang scooped the 125,000 chip pot to move into the chip lead with 15 minutes of play left in the evening. There are 119 players left, only two away from making the money.

In The Money

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

We lost several players on the last hand and as such we have made the money and there will be no hand-for-hand bubble. Humberto Brenes has cashed for an amazing 8th time this WSOP.

It was a frantic and fast-paced day in Event #37: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha that would see the money bubble burst shortly before play ended for the night. When all was said and done, Brandon Paster was our chip leader ending the day with 135,300 in chips. He was followed closely by bracelet winner Fabrice Soulier who bagged an impressive 129,300. Rounding out the top three is Michael Wang who scooped a huge pot near the end of the night and ended with 113,900 in chips. Lurking nearby is the dangerous Erick Lindgren who would finish with a stack of 100,000.
