Kevin Chong Climbing Up

When we arrived at Table 12, Kevin Chong, who was under the gun, had 5,000 in the pot preflop when the player on the button reraised all in for another 5,000. Chong called, having the other player covered by a few thousand.

Chong's {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} weren't looking in the best of shape against his opponent's {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, though his fortune changed when the flop brought {2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. The turn was {j-Hearts} and the river was {j-Clubs}, and Chong was left with about 27,000 in chips.
