Wang Wisely Gives Up
Level 27
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Biao Ding raised to 450,000 in early position. Yang Wang flat-called as next to act, and Emilien Pitavy defended his big blind.
Pitavy checked the 6♥6♠4♦ flop, after which Ding continued for 425,000. Wang called, and Pitavy folded K♠J♠. Ding then slowed down and checked the 5♦ turn, prompting Wang to take the initiative and bet 1,025,000.
Ding called, seeing the 9♣ roll off on the river. After some time, both players checked it to showdown. Ding tabled 9♠9♦ for a rivered boat, and Wang mucked A♦10♦ to admit defeat.
