Brandon Wong - 6th PlaceBrandon Wong Eliminated in 6th Place ($39,968)
Under the gun, Andrew Margolis came in with a raise to 55,000, and the action was on Brandon Wong. He wasted little time grabbing his whole stack of 289,000 chips and shoved them forward as the table quickly folded back around.
Margolis cut the calling chips out of his stack and gazed forlornly at Wong. After a minute or two of mental deliberation, he slammed the chips over the line, putting Wong at risk.
Showdown
Margolis:

It seems the table is really going after Jason Somerville in this level. He's being bet out of the pots where he's the caller, and he's being reraised out of the pots that he opens. It will be interesting to see how much longer Somerville continues to yield to the pressure. -
