Man in surgical mask celebrates with clenched fists at a busy poker tournament.

Yu Tang Wang was all in for 495,000 and faced Gemmy Tue An for his tournament life. 

Yu Tang Wang: K ♠️ Q ♥️

Gemmy Tue An: A ♥️ A ♣️

Wang was in bad shape until the flop 3 ♦️ 10 ♥️ J ♥️ improved his outs. The turn 4 ♠️ brought no change. And as Gemmy Tue An called for junk, the deck refused to listen as it brought down the A ♦️ to give her the set and Wang a lucky Broadway.

Disappointed at the turnout, Gemmy Tue An remained positive saying, “it's ok, I will win a bigger pot next time.”
