Meng Knocks Out Willard
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jeffrey Willard had lost most of his stack in a recent hand and was down to just 12,000 in the big blind. Qingwei Meng open-shoved to 200,000 from under the gun, forcing out all other players except Willard who made the call and was at risk.
Jeffrey Willard: 9?4? 
Qingwei Meng: K?K?
Meng was way ahead with the pocket kings and remained so on the 8?7?8? flop. The 2? turn gave Willard a flush draw but the K? river improved Meng to a full house to score the knockout.
