Wang Doubles Through Kovalski to Take the Chip Lead
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Patrick Clarke raised to 160,000 from under the gun, and Fabiano Kovalski called in the next seat. The action folded around to Haoxiang Wang in the small blind who raised to 600,000. Clarke folded, and Kovalski moved all in to put maximum pressure on Wang, but he quickly called.
Haoxiang Wang: 
Fabiano Kovalski: 
Board: 
Wang was in a great position with his pocket kings, and Kovalski needed a lot of help to send Wang to the rail. But the board fell in Wang's favor, and he secured the massive 10m pot to take the overall chip lead and leave Kovalski on 3m.
