Kuperholz Can't Hang on Against Wang
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Yuanting Wang raised to 40,000 from the cutoff and just behind him, Ryan Kuperholz shoved for his last 200,000 on the button. It was folded back to Wang, who called to put Kuperholz at risk.
Ryan Kuperholz: A♣10♦
Yuanting Wang: K♦Q♠
"I got it in ahead! That's all I can ask for!" Kuperholz said while standing up from his seat.
The 9♣7♦5♦ flop gave Kuperholz a big sweat, as Wang had picked up a flush draw in addition to his live cards.
The 6♠ turn changed nothing, but the K♣ landed on the river — pairing Wang's king to end Kuperholz's run in dramatic fashion.
