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.
