Hoang Spikes Miracle River to Take Chip Lead
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
After some pre-flop fireworks, big stacks Steve Hoang and Derrick Yamada got all the chips into the middle to create a massive pot of 2,500,000, with Hoang at risk.
Steve Hoang: A?J?
Derrick Yamada: A?K?
Hoang would need a lot of help here as Yamada had him dominated, and it was looking grim on the turn 8?6?8?3?, but the river came the miracle J? to give him the massive double up, much to the chagrin of Yamada.
