Wang's Day Gets Better
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Henry Tran had his stack of around 450,000 in the middle and was in a dominating position against Yuanting Wang.
Henry Tran: A♣K♠ 
Yuanting Wang: K♣8♣
Wang was looking to thin down the field but needed a bit of luck if he wanted to do so as Tran was a big favorite. However, being the favorite in poker doesn't always work out as Tran realized when the flop came 3♥8♠J♥, giving Wang a pair of eights. The 3♦ turn changed nothing, and despite Tran making top pair with the K♥ river, it wasn't enough as Wang rivered two pair to take the pot.
