Wang Sends Himes to the Exit
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Charles Himes got the action started with an all-in for 12,000 from middle position. Kong Wang called on the button, as well as Nikki Woodside from the small blind and Kyna England from the big blind.
Woodside and England checked the flop of 2♣4♣10♥ before Wang put out a bet of 18,000. Both blinds folded to make the pot go to a heads-up showdown between Himes and Wang.
Charles Himes: J♥J♦
Kong Wang: A♣8♣
Wang needed to find an ace or a club to pull ahead against the pocket jacks of Himes. The 9♦ turn kept Himes in the lead, but the 9♣ river was not as friendly as it improved Wang to a flush to eliminate Himes.
