Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The middle position player opened 4,500 and was called by opponent. Big stack Jing Wang then squeezed to 25,000 from the big blind. The original raiser then four-bet to 66,000 and only Wang called.

The middle position player continued for 40,000 on the 7?4?3? flop. Wang moved all in as the bigger stack and his opponent, who had around 275,000 behind, snap-called for his tournament life.

Middle Position: KxKx
Jing Wang: JxJx

Wang was way behind and was about to be reduced to crumbs until he binked a set on the J? turn to the disbelief of his opponent. The river bricked out and Wang became the overwhelming chip leader.

The following hand, the player in the under-the-gun position moved all in for around 35,000 and Wang called from the small blind.

Wang had 7?7? and was up against K?J?. Wang claimed another elimination as he held out to scoop following the A?9?6?6?A? runout.
