Wang Puts Melchers in Blender
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
A pot of 72,000 had developed by the river on a board of 6♣4♥2♦K♠4♦, in a hand between Dorian Melchers and Yuhan Wang, both in middle position.
Melchers checked, and Wang fired out a bet of 150,000, more than covering Melchers' remaining stack of 52,500.
Melchers went into the tank, taking at least three minutes eyeing the board and his opponent, the focus of his attention appearing to be Wang's neck, trying to get some kind of pulse indication as to whether Wang was bluffing.
Wang didn't move an inch throughout. Eventually, Melchers took a final peek at his cards and folded.
