Wong Hits Fortunate Runout to Take Lead

Jerry Wong: 4x2x / KxAx8x7x / 5x
Michael Moncek completed with a trey and Jerry Wong as the bring-in called with a king. Moncek bet on fourth and fifth street to earn reluctant calls by Wong. He then picked up a king himself on sixth but bet anyways, as Wong took a long sip from his water bottle before coming along.
Moncek also bet seventh street after which Wong swiftly called.
According to the commentators, Wong only had six percent equity on fifth street but got there to scoop and pot and take over the lead.
