Roman Hrabec had been trailing since the start of the APT Main Event, still riding the momentum of his recent victory in the APT Super High Roller Championship for TWD 13,398,721 (~USD 429,450). But one fortunate clash changed everything, allowing the Czech pro to rebuild a healthy stack while slowing down the American Michael Wang.

Roman Hrabec: K K

Michael Wang: T 9

The K Q J flop looked fantastic for Wang, who immediately hit a straight, while Hrabec found top set with his kings.

The 2 turn changed nothing, but the 2 river gave Hrabec a full house, leaving Wang’s straight with no value.

Wang still remaied well above the 100,000-chip average, but the real winner of the hand was Hrabec, who doubled his stack and fully revived his tournament life.
