Wang Receives Three Quarters
Level 27
: Blinds 0/0, 80,000 ante
6♥4♣3♥2♠J♦
K♣9♠8♥6♦7♣
Samuel Stranak bet 175,000 on the flops from early position. Yang Wang called in the hijack, and chipleader Xixiang Luo check-called under the gun. After a second check by Luo, Stranak upped the ante to 700,000 on the turns.
Wang then moved in his stack of around 1,800,000, folding out Luo. Stranak quickly called, however, revealing the cards.
Yang Wang: A♦Q♦7♥5♣ 
Samuel Stranak: K♠6♣5♦3♦
Wang was scooping with a straight on both boards but the bottom river bailed Stranak out somewhat, making him the same straight as Wang.
Stranak cut out half of Wang's stack from his own, seeing it being shipped to his opponent.
