Michael Wang Eliminated in 9th Place ($18,200)

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Michael Wang
Michael Wang

David Stefanski raised to 80,000 in middle position and Michael Wang jammed all in for 40,000 in late position. Action folded around to Namit Patel in the big blind who called.

The flop rolled out 7♠4♠3♣ and Patel check-called a bet of 60,000 from Wang.

Both players checked the turn 2♥ to the river 5♣ where Stefanski folded to Patel's bet of 150,000.

Michael Wang: A♥10♥ All in
Namit Patel: 7♦6♣

Both players held straights, but it was Patel's seven-high straight that was good for the pot while the WSOP bracelet winner took his leave from the tournament.

Wang's Aces Cracked By Stefanski's Kings

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

David Stefanski raised to 80,000 on the button and Michael Wang three-bet to 260,000 in the small blind. Stefanski moved all in for 1,310,000 and Wang snap-called.

David Stefanski: K♥K♣ All in
Michael Wang: A♦A♣

Stefanski sighed seeing Wang turn over his hand, but those sighs were silenced on the runout of K♠5♦3♥9♦3♣ that gave Stefanski kings full.

Wang payed off the bet and was left with just one big blind, giving a smile and a shrug.

"Come on Mike," said table mate Jeremy Becker. "Let out a f*** or something, that was brutal."
