Wang's Lonely Pair Holds Up
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Erik Seidel limped in from the small blind and Michael Wang checked his option in the big blind. The flop came Q♣8♣7♦ and it didn't take long for the two players to get all of their chips in the middle with Wang at risk for 885,000.
Michael Wang: 10♥9♥9♣6♠
Erik Seidel: 10♠9♠8♥4♣
Both players flopped straight draws but it was Wang's pair of nines that had him out front. The 3♦ on the turn and the A♦ on the river changed nothing and Wang held on for a double up.
