Wang Scores Large Pot and Knockout
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Jim Collopy opened to 8,000 from under the gun and was called by Guofeng Wang in middle position, Ludovic Geilich in late position and a player in the big blind.
All four players checked through the 7?9?J? flop to the 4? turn at which point the big blind bet 21,000. Collopy called while Wang responded by potting to 123,500. That forced Geilich and Collopy out of the hand but the big blind called off for less.
Big Blind Player: J?9?10?7? 
Guofeng Wang: A?10?8?2?
Wang had flopped a straight to leave his opponent drawing thin. The river changed nothing to send the big blind out of the tournament while awarding Wang a large pot to go along with the knockout.
