Ling Tong Eliminated in 18th Place (HK$247,500)
Level 18
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
A sick beat just took place over at Table 3 that resulted in the elimination of Ling Tong.
We didn't catch the action until the turn on a board reading ![]()
![]()
![]()
. There was about 100,000 in the pot, and Tong had gotten his last 70,000 or so all in against Yifan Zheng.
Zheng: ![]()
![]()
Tong: ![]()
![]()
Tong got his chips in with a full house against the ![]()
of Zheng. Obviously Zheng's flush draw was no good, and that meant he needed to spike one of the two remaining aces to steal the pot. Well, we told you it was a sick beat, and that's because the
peeled off on the river.
The table and railbirds reacted sharply while a shell-shocked Tong sought consolation from his girlfriend on the rail.
