Tong Spikes the River to Survive
Level 18
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
After Peter Ping San Chan opened for 11,000 on the button, a short-stacked Ling Tong three-bet all in for 54,500 from the small blind. Chan made the call and the cards were turned up.
Tong: 
Chan: 
Chan was in a dominating position, and he stayed there through the 
flop and 
turn. Much to Tong's delight — and his girlfriend's on the rail — the spiked on the river to give him the improbably three outer.
