River Saves Wang from Exit
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Ye Wang raised from under the gun to 3,500 and Roeland Peeks called on his direct left. Online grinder Alisson Piekazewicz three-bet to 14,000 from the cutoff, which folded out the button and blinds. Wang jammed for 43,000 and Piekazewicz called after Peeks got out of the way.
Ye Wang: 8♥8♦
Alisson Piekazewicz: Q♦Q♣
Wang was crushed and had one foot out of the door after the A♣J♣10♦ flop and 2♣ turn. However, the 8♠ river gave Wang a set and the checkmark to survive.
