"It's My Tournament!"; Wang Triple Up
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Zilin Wang raised to 28,000 in the hijack and was called by Blair Hinkle on the button and Marc Gardner in the big blind.
The flop came J♥8♠5♥ and Wang moved all in for his last 10,000. Hinkle then raised to 25,000, and Gardner called.
Hinkle and Gardner checked the K♠ turn, and Hinkle then bet 15,000 on the 2♥ river. Gardner quickly called.
Hinkle showed A♥J♦ for a pair of jacks. "I beat that," Wang said hopefully. Gardner then turned over A♠Q♦. "I beat that," Wang added, turning over K♣J♣ for two pair to win the pot and triple up.
"Let's go! I just made the money. It's my tournament!" an exuberant Wang said.
