Nicholas Wang Spikes the River to Double Thru Renji Mao

Photo:  Even though it saved his tournament, Nicholas Wang winced when he saw the jack hit the river.

Nicholas Wang raises to 60,000 on the button off a stack of 1,125,000 and Renji Mao in the big blind simply moves all-in with the covering stack. Wang is pained by his decision but decides to call it off.
