Wang Cools Off Opponent
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action was opened in middle position to 8,000 by Michael Wang. It folded to the big blind who defended and the two players were off to a flop heads up.
The 8♠3♥7♣ flop landed and action checked to Wang who continued for 15,000. It was back on the big blind who didn't take more than a second before shipping it all in. Wang shrugged and flicked in the chips.
Big blind: 7♦3♦
Michael Wang: 9♣9♥
Wang would need some help and the dealer came to the rescue in the form off an 8♥ turn giving Wang a better two pair. The 5♦ river landed and Wang locked up the pot and the knockout.
