Favorable Runout for Wang

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

There was a flurry of preflop action which saw Michael Wang and another opponent with all of their chips in the middle. Frank Funaro was also involved but elected to fold when the action came back to him.

Opponent: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Michael Wang: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Wang found himself in a coin flip situation against a shorter stack. Luckily for him, the board ran out {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Wang's pocket nines held on to eliminate his opponent.
