Dang Nails Runner-Runner to Double Up
It was the shout heard across the room.
“Oh, my God!” a player yelled.
PokerNews immediately went to the table to see multiple players standing and taking photos of a board of 6♣9♣J♣K♥9♠ in hand involving Khaly Dang and a player in middle position.
Dang was all in for her remaining 110,000 and her opponent had her covered.
The good news for Dang fell on the board, as the tabled cards told the story.
Khaly Dang: K♦9♦ 
Opponent: A♣K♣
Dang’s opponent flopped the nut flush, while Dang hit middle pair. The tables were then turned because Dang hit a runner-runner to come from behind to secure the hand with a full house.
According to Dang, a player under the gun raised preflop, and then the player with A♣K♣ came over the top with an all-in bet. Action folded to Dang, who was in the small blind, and she moved all in.
The original raiser folded, Dang said, resulting in the hand and her double up.
