Chieng Straights out Tong
The biggest pot of the final table has just been won by Alexandre Chieng to move him into the chip lead.
It all started with Dinesh Alt opening to 75,000 from the button, as Ling Tong and Chieng came along from the blinds. The flop came down 
, as the blinds checked over to Alt, who threw out a continuation bet of 135,000. Tong thought about his decision for over a minute, before making the call, as Chieng snapped right behind him. The 
fell on the turn, and Chieng wasted no time, instantly betting out 315,000. Alt mucked his hand, as Tong again went into the tank. A few minutes passed, before he made the call, as the 
fell on the river.
Chieng didn't rush to any quick decisions, thinking out his next move carefully, before placing 200,000 into the middle. Tong agonised over his decision once again, and eventually made the call to see Chieng table the 
for a straight. He wasn't very impressed, mucking his hand in disgust.
