Wang Crosses Eight Figures
Level 27
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Yang Wang open-raised to 400,000 under the gun. Winfred Yu flat-called in the hijack, and Joao Simao came along from the small blind.
After Simao checked, Wang continued with a bet of 800,000. Yu folded A♦J♠, but Simao called after some thought. Simao checked again, and Wang checked back this time.
Simao then fired a tiny 325,000 on the 3♥ river. After some thought, Wang tossed in a call. Simao revealed 9♦9♣, but Wang had the higher pair with A♠10♥ to rake in chips.
