Wang Closing in on Title
Level 38
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Yilong Wang kept his drive toward victory going, with a pivotal hand.
After calling 4,000,000 preflop, Ran Ilani was a calling machine. He put 6,000,000 into the pot on a flop of K♣7♦6♣.
After both players checked the 5♣ turn, Wang bet 4,500,000 on the river 2♣, which put four clubs on the board.
Ilani thought about it for a long time, but eventually made the call.
Surprisingly, Wang did not have a flush. But he did have 9♠8♥ for a straight that was good enough to take the hand.
