Keeton’s Pocket Aces Stand Tall to Double Up Against Wang

Level 18: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000

William Wang, very active late in the day, raised from the button and then called when Sean Keeton shoved all-in, putting himself at risk of elimination.


Sean Keeton: A A


William Wang: A 8


Despite Wang's recent success, this hand wasn't one of them. The board came K 4 T 2 3, and Keeton's pocket aces held strong, securing him a double up.

Wong’s Two Pair Sends Abbasov to the Rail

Level 18: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000
William Wong

With the action folded around, William Wang, sitting with a massive stack, shoved all-in against the shorter-stacked Khayal Abbasov. Despite knowing a call would put him at risk, Abbasov decided to go for it.


Khayal Abbasov: A 8


William Wang: Q 9


Abbasov, feeling confident with his ace-high, watched as the flop came K 7 Q, giving Wang a mid-pair. To make matters worse, the 9 on the turn gave Wang two pair, leaving Abbasov drawing dead. Realizing he was out of options, Abbasov prepared to exit the floor as the 2 fell on the river.
