Wang Jumps Into Chip Lead
Level 37
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Stanislav Koleno limped in holding Q♣4♣ on the button and then called a raise from Yuhan Wang, who made it 4,200,000 from the big blind with 10♦9♦.
The flop came 2♦10♠6♥ and Wang bet 3,000,000, which got Koleno to fold.
A few hands later, Wang raised to 2,600,000 holding 9♥7♣ and Koleno called with 4♦4♣ in the big blind.
They saw a flop of K♦8♥K♥, where Koleno check-called a bet of 2,000,000 with his pocket fours to see the 6♥ turn. Koleno checked again, then Wang bet 7,000,000 with his combo draw. Koleno called again.
A 5♣ on the river did gave Wang a straight, and when the action got to him, he bet 12,000,000. Koleno thought for a while and called, then mucked when he saw the straight of Wang.
