Wang Cracks Aces, Chaoui Still Sitting Pretty
Level 17
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Mehdi Chaoui raised to 60,000 from the hijack, and Eric Wasserson called in the small blind. Peter Wang then moved all-in from the big blind for 240,000. Chaoui called, and Wasserson folded.
Peter Wang: A♠3♠
Mehdi Chaoui: A♥A♦
After seeing the K♥2♥4♦ flop, Wang called for a five, hoping to complete his wheel straight. Ask and you shall receive, it appeared, as the 5♦ hit the turn. The 2♠ completed the board, and while the dealer sent the pot in Wang's direction, Wang also received a fist bump from Wasserson.
