Wang Hits Miracle River
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Lei Wang open-shoved from under-the-gun for a little over 300,000 and action folded around to E A 2 in the big blind, who made the call. The two players tabled their cards, with Wang at risk.
Lei Wang: 
E A 2: 
The flop of 
was safe for Wang, but the turn 
shifted the lead to E A 2 with his pair of kings.
However, the miracle 
on the river saved Wang from elimination as he found one of two outs to make a set of eights, defeating E A 2 and scoring a double up.
