Verbraeken Cracks Kings with Queens to Send Wang Home

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Michael Wang
Michael Wang

Less than half an hour ago, Michael Wang got lucky with ace-queen to bust David Lascar's pocket-kings. The tables were turned just now after Wang's {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} failed to hold against Jorden Verbraeken's {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

Preflop Wang opened to 13,000 and Verbraeken three-bet to 40,000 in the small blind, which Wang called. The {6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop looked good for both overpairs and when Verbraeken continued for 60,000, Wang flatted behind.

The turn was a {q-Diamonds} and Verbraeken moved into the massive lead with top set. Once again, he bet and Wang called 60,000 to see a river. It was a {3-Hearts} pairing the bottom card and Verbraeken moved all in for 250,000. Wang quickly called but with fewer chips than his opponent, he had to say goodbye.
