Michael Wang

In the first hand, Michael Wang raised UTG+1 to 200,000, chipleader Dimitri Vorbe reraised from middle position to 625,000, and Wang moved all in for about 2,000,000.

Vorbe quickly called with AsAh. Wang turned over QsQd, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Kh5s2sKc6d, and the pocket aces held up for Vorbe to win the pot and eliminate Wang in ninth place.
