Wang Cracks Lijo's Aces to Stay Alive
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Michael Wang opened to 35,000 on the button and Lander Lijo three-bet to 90,000 in the big blind. Wang thought about his decision before moving all in for approximately 340,000, and Lijo snap-called.
Michael Wang: 
Lander Lijo: 
Wang was in rough shape against the pocket rockets as the cameras surrounded the table to catch the runout. The dealer fanned out the 
flop to give Wang a bit of hope with a gutshot draw, and the 
was put down onto the felt on the turn to instantly secure his double with a straight.
The meaningless 
completed the board and Wang survived on the fortunate runout, while Lijo's aces were cracked and the Spaniard was left with around ten big blinds.
