Wang Busts a Player Then Doubles Up Gierse

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Wnag

Joseph Cheong opened to 10,000 from middle position before Michael Wong raised to 27,000 from the hijack. The cutoff then four-bet to 65,000. Cheong quickly folded but Wang went deep into the tank and eventually, the clock was called. Wang ended up moving all in for around 275,000 and was snapped by his opponent, who he just narrowly covered.

Cutoff: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Michael Wang: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

There was an ace in the window but it was rendered useless as a queen followed on the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop. A {4-} hit the turn and the {2-Clubs} river confirmed that the huge pot would be sent Wang's way.

The very next hand, Marius Gierse, with {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, was all in against Wang's pocket fives. There was an ace on the flop and Gierse held to double up.
