Wang Runs Into Latimer's Kings
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Michael Berk opened to 16,000 from under the gun and Jonathan Wang ripped all in for 138,000 on his left. Phillip Latimer asked for a count in the cutoff and then reshoved all in over the top, which got the rest of the table to fold.
Jonathan Wang: A♦J♦
Phillip Latimer: K♠K♦
The flop came J♠9♦3♥ to give Wang a pair of jacks but it was still Latimer in the lead. The Q♠ on the turn and the 10♣ on the river only improved Latimer to a straight and eliminated Wang.
