Wong Wins Boat Over Boat
Level 6
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Wong took some time before announcing all in, with So making the snap-call.
So tabled A♠A♣ for aces full of eights, while Wong bowed his head as he turned over A♥8♥ for an inferior full house. Wong doubled his stack, while So was left with just 1,000 chips and was eliminated shortly after.
