Huang Up Against the Wall

Matthew Wall
Matthew Wall
Bryan Huang raised to open, sliding out a full stack of twenty T1,000 yellow chips. Matthew Wall reraised, and Huang moved all in. Wall quickly called, now having all 59,500 of his chips in the middle. Huang tabled {A-Spades} {7-Spades}, but Wall had the {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}.

The flop brought Wall a big sweat, coming down {Q-Hearts} {4-Spades} {3-Spades}. The turn further intensified the drama, as the {6-Hearts} gave Huang a straight draw as well. The river was black, but it was the {J-Clubs}, holding Wall's overpair and doubling him up to 125,000. Huang, meanwhile, is all the way back down to 31,500.
