Wang's Aces No Match for Lonis Run-Good
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Hand-for-hand action was picked up with Yuzhu Wang all in and at risk from early position for 334,000 against Jesse Lonis in the big blind.
Yuzhu Wang: A♦A♥ 
Jesse Lonis: 6♦5♦
As the players waited for the hand to play out, Lonis told Wang, "You have my flush covered. I'm basically dead." The reverse jinx worked as the dealer spread an ice-cold flop of J♣6♠5♥. Wang remained in good spirits despite his tournament life hanging in the balance. Unfortunately for him, the dealer provided no assistance on the K♠ turn or Q♥ river, eliminating Wang on the soft bubble.
