Wang Fades Everything for a Double
Level 29
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Bin Wang raised to 50,000 from the hijack with K♠K♣ and Yang Liu called from the big blind with a suited Q♦3♦. The flop came 10♦9♠3♥ and Liu check-called a bet of 45,000 from Wang after picked up a pair of threes.
The 8♦ on the turn made things interesting as Liu also picked up a straight and a flush draw. He checked it again and Wang sized up a bet of 95,000. Liu check-raised all in as the bigger stack and Wang used a time bank before making the call for additional 195,000.
The dealer burned and turned the 7♠ on the river which missed Liu entirely, sending a double up Wang's way. On the flip side, Liu joined the feature table with over 1,000,000 chips and is now down to just over five big blinds.
