Yang Doubles Up
Level 18
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Jans Arends was on the button and had both players in the blinds covered.
Arends moved all in, which prompted Jonathan Jaffe to fold in the small blind. Yang Wang, though, had other ideas in the big blind and moved all in for his last 1,025,000 to put his tournament life at stake against the bigger stack.
Yang Wang: A♣K♦
Arends: Q♠4♠
The dealer fanned out 3♠J♣6♠, keeping Wang ahead but he had to dodge spades. The J♥ hit the turn and 2♦ arrived on the river to give Wang a much-needed double up.
