Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We arrived at the table just as Yeow Chong opened to 4,000 from under the gun plus one. The action folded to Anson Wong in the cut off who moved all in for his last 25,000 in chips. Tsuyoshi Ishibashi was in the blinds, and moved all in for around 42,000 in chips, putting the pressure back on Chong.

He contemplated for several minutes before eventually releasing his hand. The other two players then tabled theirs.
