Wang Makes a Move at the Wrong Time
Level 20
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Chih-Yuan Wang raised it up to 225,000 off a stack of 24 big blinds and then peeled a three-bet to 575,000 by Jun Obara in the cutoff. On the A♥9♠4♠ flop, Wang led for 200,000 and Obara raised to 475,000 for Wang to call.
The J♠ came on the turn and Wang jammed for some 1.6 million, Obara instantly called.
Chih-Yuan Wang: 4♦3♦ 
Jun Obara: A♣J♦
Wang's bottom pair were in shambles against the turned top two pair of Obara and he found no miracle escape on the 8♣ river. Other players at the table were somewhat flabbergasted and Nang Quang Nguyen smirked, then said "merry Christmas" to Obara.
