Wang Doubles Through Burns

We certainly had a ton of action on the first hand of play. Just before the elimination of Joseph Steur, Sai Wang doubled through Gregory Burns on another table. We didn't catch the hand as it happened, but Wang held {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}, and the board had come down {2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

After that hand, Wang is up to 615,000, while Burns is cripple to 77,000.
