Wang with the Better One-Pair Hand

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

After Michael Wang raised preflop from middle position and Tommy Vedes called out of the big blind, the dealer spread the {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop. Vedes checked, Wang bet 20,000, and Vedes called.

The {10-Spades} came on the turn, and Vedes checked again. Wang upped his wager to 55,000, and Vedes made the call to leave himself with 152,000 behind.

The river was the {9-Diamonds}, and both players checked.

"One pair," announced Vedes before he turned up the {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

Wang responded by tabling the {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a better pair on the river, and he won the pot.
