Islam Takes the Chip Lead, Then Wang Takes it Back

By August 16, 2026No Comments

Khandaker Islam just took down a nice pot on the river with a pot sized bet of 1,600,000, and after taking that pot, he had taken the chip lead from Anshu Wang for the first time in a couple of hours. However, his lead would only last a few hands, as the two would then get all the chips in on the turn of a board showing [9d][7c][6s][4d]. Islam had [6d][4h] for two pair, but he was well behind the [8s][5c] of Wang that had flopped a straight.

No four outer on the river, and just like that, Wang has a big chip lead once again.
