Wang the Best Player in Puerto Rico

Roxanne Johnson

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

PokerNews heard some excitement coming from one table where Stephanie Wang had won an all-in pot and could not believe she won it. According to the players:

Stephanie Wang raised 2,500 from under the gun and a middle position player called and the button three-bet to 6,000 and it went three way to the flop

The flop came out 7♠2♠3♦ and Wang Jammed the flop for about 21,000 and the player in middle position folded and the button called for all of her chips.

Button: J♠10♠
Stephanie Wang: A♠9♠

Both players were drawing for the spade but Wang had the nut flush draw and the turn Q♠ gave Wang the best hand. The river A♣ was irrelevant to the hand and the button was sent packing.

When asked which flag Wang wanted on her profile she stated, "I live in Puerto Rico and right now I am the number one player in Puerto Rico". The ladies at the table all laughed.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a blind versus blind situation, Fatima Nanji raised to 3,000 and the big blind called.

On the flop J♣K♣A♠, Nanji check-called her opponent for 3,000. The 7♥ turn didn't bring any action and a 9♥ landed on the river. Nanji sent 7,500 in the middle and her opponent quickly called.

Nanji tabled A♥Q♦ for top pair with a queen kicker and her opponent mucked her hand, showing a A♦.
