The Race for the Day 1a Chip Lead Near the Bubble
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
On the river of a 7♠4♠8♣A♥2♠ board, Wei Jen Wang bet 145,000 out of the big blind and was reluctantly called by Shicheng Gu. Wang tabled the 8♠5♠ for a flopped gutshot straight flush draw which rivered an eight-high flush, and it was good to win the pot.
Wang soared up the leaderboard and joined the likes of Benjamin Mages and Dongchen He near the top two spots away from the money.
