Wang Cashes with a Chip and a Chair
Steven Wang folded his big blind on the stone bubble leaving himself just a single 1,000 yellow chip behind. After the dust had settled from hand-for-hand play, Wang squeezed into the money with an eighth of a big blind.
Once the bubble had burst, Wang was forced all in from the small blind.
Ariel Celestino raised from the button to 16,000 and the big blind called. The flop of J?10?5? checked through to the 7? on the turn. The big blind checked and then folded to a bet of 18,000 from Celestino sending the hand to a showdown. Wang peeled his cards one at a time as this was the first time he'd seen them.
Steven Wang: A?2?
Ariel Celestino: 8?8?
The river came the 3? eliminating Wang. To his delight, he exited to the payout cage instead of a cashless rail.
