Wang Wins Ten Million Chip Pot

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Haoxiang Wang
Haoxiang Wang

Haoxiang Wang raised to 500,000 from the button with {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and saw Ognyan Dimov defend his big blind with {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

The {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop turned the tables on Wang as Dimov hit two pair. The latter checked, and Wang bet 700,000. Dimov then raised to 2m and Wang called.

The turn {4-Hearts} put Wang back in front with a higher two pair combination, and Dimov checked.

Wang needed to use two time back cards to think through his decision with just a pot size bet left behind him. Wang opted to bet half his stack for 2.5m and Dimov called.

The {9-Hearts} river didn't change anything, and both players checked to a showdown.

Wang took the 10m chip pot in the biggest hand of the day so far to move back up to 12.8m.
