Wong Axed

Michael Wong is probably wondering what happened to him. In the span of two hands, he went from a small but playable stack to out of the tournament. First he doubled up local poker dealer Ray Hoang, all in preflop. Wong had the better hand with {A-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} but couldn't outrun Hoang's {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} on a {5-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} board.

The very next hand, Wong was the one all in preflop with {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs}. He was called by Kent Hunter with {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}, and Hunter's ace on the turn sealed the deal and eliminated Wong from the tournament.
