Wang Surprises Newport
Level 14
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nicholas Newport and Yue Wang were heads up on a flop of 2♠9♦4♦. Newport sat in the big blind and check-raised Wang's continuation-bet from early position. Wang made the call, creating a pot of 95,000 in the process.
Newport slowed down tih a check on the Q♠ turn and Wang quickly followed suit. The 10♣ river then completed the board, prompting Newport to bet once more, this time for 50,000 chips.
A quick call followed from Wang and Newport tabled his 5♦3♦ for a busted straight draw. Wang showed down A♦10♥ for a rivered pair of tens and raked in the big pot, much to the frustration of Newport.
