Wang Sun Runs to Chip Lead; Binks Two Outer in Huge Pot
The middle position player opened 4,500 and was called by opponent. Big stack Jing Wang then squeezed to 25,000 from the big blind. The original raiser then four-bet to 66,000 and only Wang called.
The middle position player continued for 40,000 on the 7?4?3? flop. Wang moved all in as the bigger stack and his opponent, who had around 275,000 behind, snap-called for his tournament life.

Wang had 7?7? and was up against K?J?. Wang claimed another elimination as he held out to scoop following the A?9?6?6?A? runout.
