Wang With Massive Suckout
Level 38
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Yuefan Wang raised to 2,400,000 from the hijack before Junjie Tang responded with a re-raise to 7,200,000 on the button. Wang put most of his chips in, leaving only 100,000 behind. Tang announced all-in, and Wang called to put himself at risk for 40,500,000.
Yuefan Wang: 9♦9♣
Junjie Tang: K♥K♣
Wang was a big underdog heading into the flop, but the first three cards flipped the script in a hurry when the dealer fanned out 8♣6♥9♥ to give Wang top set as the table gasped at the development.
The 8♠ turn upgraded Wang to a full house, and the 4♠ river sealed the deal as a shocked Wang stood by as a pile of chips came back his way. Tang took a big hit, sinking him below ten million in a hurry.
