Wang Out Pips Obara to Double Up
Level 22
: 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Jun Obara raised to 200,000 from early position, and it folded to Yang Wang in the big blind who made the call.
The flop came K♣5♣7♥ and Yang check-called a bet of 100,000 from Obara.
After the 3♠ on the turn, Wang checked to Obara again, who fired out 250,000. Wang raised all in for 850,000, and Obara called to put Wang at risk.
Yang Wang: K♠Q♠ 
Jun Obara: K♥9♦
Both players flopped top pair, but Wang's kicker was best. The A♥ on the turn changed nothing, and Wang locked up a much-needed double up.
