Will Linden Eliminated in 2nd Place ($167,339)
Level 40
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Will Linden limped in on the button and Pengfei Wang opted to check.
It went check-check on the 2?3?9? flop to the 5? on the turn. Wang contemplated his bet size and decided to barrel a bet of 5,000,000 out. Linden responded with a shove for 14,300,000 for Wang to make the call quickly.
Will Linden: J?4?
Pengfei Wang: 9?4?
Linden had risked his tournament life with the open-ended straight draw and flush draw while Wang was sitting on the same open-ended straight draw and a pair of nines.
The river completed the board with the 7? to not change things as Wang jumped in the air, and his rail erupted in cheers as Wang had just won the tournament for $270,700 while Linden added $167,339 to his bank roll.
