Day 2
Wang Chips Up with Kings
The hand was already underway with the tournament dealer throwing Nicholas Go a one-hand penalty for acting out of turn.
Action happened with Sergeev Aleksandr limping under the gun and Zhiyu Wang on the button raising to 15,000. Go in the big blind, snap called out of turn which was what got him the one-hand penalty. But Johnson Lim went all-in in small blind. After much discussion with the tournament director, Go folded his hand and left the table.
Aleksandr mucked his hand but Wang made the call, putting Lim at risk and taking both players to showdown.
Johnson Lim: A♠ J♥
Zhiyu Wang: K♦ K♥
With a 70% chance to win Wang seemed very confident of winning the hand, giving Lim a friendly tap of the table for good luck. But Lim started packing when the flop came T♥ T♦ 6♣ . The runout of 9♠ and 3♠ didn't help him at all. He finished packing as the deal completed and left table as Wang scooped the pot.
