Wang Jumps into the Chip Lead
Level 19
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Action folded to Michael Wang on the button, he raised to 160,000 with A♠4♦, which was called by the big blind Andrew Lichtenberger holding A♦7♥.
The flop came 6♠3♠5♥ and Lichtenberger decided to lead out for a bet of 80,000, which Wang called.
After the 6♥ on the turn, Lichtenberger fired again, this time for 300,000, and Wang again made the call.
The river was the 7♠ which paired Lichtenberger but gave Wang a straight. Lichtenberger did bet once more though, a small bet for only 80,000. Wang took some time, before raising to 1,300,000, leaving just 80,000 behind.
Lichtenberger confirmed the count and thought over his decision, before making the call, to give Wang the massive pot and nearly a double up.
