Emig Coming on Strong
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Less than 30 minutes after surviving his all-in situation, which saw him triple up, [Removed:471] is making his presence felt.
Action picked up on the turn in a hand involving Emig and Joshua Wang, the Day 1 chip leader, with a pot of more than 400,000.
The board showed K♠2♠J♥3♠, and action fell on Emig, who was in the small blind. Emig briefly paused before reaching into his chip stack to pull out three full barrels of 5,000 chips before moving them forward together in a single motion for a 300,000 bet.
The bet certainly got Wang’s attention, who leaned forward in his chair to stare at the board. Wang then folded and the pot was pushed to Emig, who went over the 1,000,000 mark.
