Chip Leaders Battle it Out
Michael Wang woke up with A♥J♠ under the gun and raised to 1,600,000 prompting folds all around, allowing Wang to add more chips to his monster stack.
In the next hand, Daniel Willis sat with A♠4♥ on the button and raised to 1,750,000 and Wang defended the big blind with Q♥5♥.
The action flop came J♣8♥A♥ which gave Willis top pair and a flush draw for Wang.
Wang opted for a check and Willis bet out 1,600,000, getting a quick call from Wang.
The A♦ turn swayed things in Willis's favor. Wang checked and faced a bet of 2,700,000 from Willis. Wang took some time, but eventually found a fold, allowing Willis to get closer to chip leading.
