Wang Meng caught red-handed, Hiroshi Matsumoto doubles up


(L) Wang Meng, Hiroshi Matsumoto (R)

Action folded all the way to the small blind Wang Meng who shoved but big blind Hiroshi Matsumoto woke up with Q Q and called for his tournament life. Meng sheepishly opened up 2 8, caught red-handed attempting to steal the blinds.

Meng was almost successful when the flop ran 3 7 5 giving him a flush draw, but with the turn A and river 5, it was a miss and Matsumoto doubled up to 550k. Weng spiraled down to 189k.
