Wang Gets Paid with a Straight
Level 25
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Yang Wang opened 1,300,000 in the cutoff and Chris Klodnicki called on the button before Pablo Melogno came along from the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 9♦6♣3♠, and Melogno check-called a bet of 2,200,000 from Wang while Klodnicki folded.
The 5♦ turn was checked through to see the 2♠ on the river and Melogno checked once more. Wang fired 5,200,000, putting Melogno in the tank. After using a time bank, he dropped some chips across the line to make the call.
Wang tabled 4♠4♥ for a straight and Melogno mucked his hand.
