Moss and Wang Battle Again, Gao Nuts Ye Wang

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

We caught Yang Wang and Matt Moss battling in another pot, with the community cards spread {2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs} {k-Hearts} just as Wang fired a roughly two-thirds pot sized bet of 5,700 from the cutoff. Moss (big blind) made the call and the {j-Clubs} came in on the river.

That was it for the betting in this particular hand, with Moss taking the pot down with {a-Hearts}{9-Spades} to get close to starting stack while Wang dropped some to 75,000. Fabian Spielmann joined the action while this hand was going down and the field has now climbed to 17 entries, 15 of whom are still in action.

Talking of action, we picked up Wenling Gao and Ye Wang embroiled in a hand immediately after the one above played out, over on the second table.

It was Gao who was the pre-flop aggressor, making it 700 to go from middle position with Yang the only caller in the big blind. The flop fell {4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, with Wang check-calling Gao's 800 continuation bet to keep both players in action to the {j-Hearts} turn.

Wang decided to seize the initiative when the third heart came in, firing for 1,100 and getting called. The {7-Clubs} river completed the hand, and Wang now checked it over to Gao, who now tossed out a bet of 4,500.

This sent Wang into the think tank, where he remained for several minutes before throwing out the calling chips, but could only flick his cards into the muck when Gao rolled over {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for the stone cold nuts.
