Three hands after losing a massive pot to Daniel Willis, two-time WSOP bracelet winner Michael Wang was looking up to Willis’ stack and a 2,500,000 preflop raise. Willis made the action after looking at J♥9♥.
Wang, who started the hand with 19,200,000, peeked down at A♦5♠ and called.
The dealer fanned A♣10♥J♣ on the flop. While both players hit a pair, they each checked their respective action.
The 7♣ appeared on the turn, prompting Wang to bet 4,000,000 on his top pair, but Willis, holding second pair, called.
The dealer placed J♠ on the turn, giving Willis a hammerlock on the hand with trip Jacks. Wang checked and Willis applied maximum pressure by moving all in, a bet that covered Wang’s remaining stack.
Wang took his time, shifting in his seat and shuffling chips for a few minutes. He then called and shook his head after seeing Willis’ hand.
Wang earned $117,006 for his second-place finish in the event.
