Li Wins From Wang, Sanada Busts Zhi

A massive hand played out between Li Longyun and Jun Wang that saw the two swap places in the pecking order. We arrived as the stacks were being counted down with the board reading .

All the chips went in on the flop with Longyun the man to shove first with for the nut flush draw and with chips to spare Wang had looked him up with a dominated flush draw.

While Wang had paired his eight on the turn Longyun spiked the ace on the river to take a big bite out of Wang’s stack. Wang had just over 1 million after the hand while Longjun doubled to 1.85 million.

While this was going on we lost the unfortunate Lin Zhi, and while we do not know the details of his exit hand we do know that it was Japan’s Yuehei Sanada who was the man to show him the door and the Japanese player now has around 800,000 in chips.
