Yi Wang Bangs a Double With Just Ace-High

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Holding the button, Brian Ray opened for 32,000, and called Yi Wang's all-in shove of 172,000. Ray's {K-Hearts}{8-Spades} was hoping to hit against Wang's {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, but neither player connected on the {q-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} board, and Wang's ace-high hand secured a much needed double early in Day 3 competition.
