Xu Doubles Through Wang
Level 14
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On a flop of 3♠J♦9♦, Anthony Xu had his stack of around 125,000 in the middle and at risk with Yuanting Wang looking to score a knockout.
Anthony Xu: Q♣Q♠
Yuanting Wang: A♠J♣
Wang had flopped top pair with the best kicker, but was behind to the overpair of Xu who held queens. A 4♥ on the turn put Xu one step closer to a double-up, and the 10♥ on the river meant the pot was his, sending his stack to around 325,000.
On the other hand, Wang's stack takes a hit but he still has 1,000,000 to play.
