Eldridge Gets Wang to Fold Best Hand
Level 29
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
David Eldridge opened to 900,000 from middle position with J♠9♥9♣7♣ and Yang Wang defended in the big blind holding A♠9♠6♦2♦.
Wang checked following the 4♦A♦K♠ flop before calling a 1,800,000 continuation from Eldridge.
Both players checked through the 10♠ turn to the 2♥ river at which point Wang checked once more. Eldridge, with little to no showdown value, bet out a chunky 4,500,000. Wang did not think for too long before mucking his hand to send a sizable pot over to Eldridge.
