Teruhisa Aoyama opened to 44,000 from under the gun, a player called from early position, a player called from middle position and Sebastian Wong three-bet to 194,000 from the big blind.

Only the opponent in early position made the call and the flop came down {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{j-Spades}. Wong moved all in for more than enough to cover his opponents remaining 550,000 and his opponent made the call, players turned over their hands.

Wong tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} for aces up and his opponent turned over {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a straight draw. The {2-Hearts} on the turn and {6-Hearts} on the river changed nothing as Wong's bullets held on for the chip lead pot late on Day 2.
