Lew Wins Another Showdown Against Jiang
Yanting Jiang opened to 800,000 from middle position to start the hand. Dylan Lew decided to shove for 4,250,000 from the next seat over in the hijack. Jiang made the call to put Lew at risk as they went to a showdown.
Dylan Lew: A♦A♥
Yanting Jiang: K♥J♥
Lew had the best starting hand in the game and was poised for a double against the chip leader.
The flop gave both players something to root for as the dealer spread out Q♥4♥A♠ to give Lew top set and Jiang a gutshot straight draw and a flush draw.
The 9♠ turn was of no consequence to Lew, who maintained his lead with the river still to come.
Lew secured the double when the K♣ came down on fifth street to secure the double up, as Jiang had dropped down the chip counts as she continued to take losses at the final table.
