Wong Runs Into Set

[user75032]

Jimmy Wong has joined the ranks of players who are under half of the starting stack. He reraised to 1,650 after an opponent opened in middle position for 500. That player made the call to a flop of {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

, then led into Wong for 2,500. Wong called that bet.

The {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

hit the turn. Both players checked. On the river {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

, Wong's opponent bet 5,500. Wong quickly called, but mucked his hand when he was shown {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

for a set of fives. He's now down to about 10,000 in chips.
