Wheel-y Fortunate Turn Saves Wang from Elimination
Level 31
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Yuhan Wang completed from the small blind and Vlastimil Pustina made it 1,000,000 to go out of the big blind. Wang wasted no time in limp-jamming for 6,300,000. Pustina made the call after a few moments, and the cards were tabled.
Vlastimil Pustina: A♠10♣
Yuhan Wang: Q♠5♠
Wang made a move with a suited queen, but ran into the ace-ten of Pustina. Pustina had been having a rough day and had the chance to get his stack back up to what he began the day with.
A flop of A♦4♥3♠ put Pustina firmly in the lead with top pair, and Wang needed a deuce to survive. The dealer burned a card and delivered the 2♣ on the turn, giving Wang the wheel. A 6♦ completed the board to cement Wang's double-up at the expense of Pustina.
