Wang's Comeback Continues
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Melad Marji opened to 350,000 from the cutoff and Michael Wang defended from the big blind.
The flop came K♦Q♦7♥. Wang checked and Marji bet 270,000. Wang check-raised to 1,600,000 and Marji shoved. Wang, who had 355,000 and was covered, called and was at risk.
Michael Wang: A♦K♥9♣3♦ 
Melad Marji: A♠K♣7♦5♦
Marji had the better made hand with kings and sevens but Wang had the nut-flush draw. The J♦10♠ runout brought in the nut-flush for Wang who secured yet another double up, bringing his stack above 4,000,000 after being down to 65,000 half a couple of hours earlier, worth just over half of a big blind at the time.
