Wang Doubles Through Rafael
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Michael Wang opened to 125,000 from under the gun and Sean Rafael called from the big blind.
The flop came K♦K♥10♥. Rafael checked, Wang shoved for 275,000 and Rafael called with a covering stack to put Wang at risk.
Michael Wang: A♥Q♠J♥J♠ 
Sean Rafael: J♣J♦9♣2♦
Both players had pocket jacks but Wang was a big favorite with a Broadway straight draw and nut-flush draw to go with it. The 3♥9♦ runout improved Wang to the nut-flush to double up.
