Wong on the Brink of Elimination
Just before the level up, we had a monster pot develop that left Nick Wong crippled. On a board reading f 
, Wong led out for 5,500 and was called by Winfred Yu. Phil Ivey then raised to 18,000, Wong three-bet 48,500, Yu folded, and Ivey four-bet to 118,000. Wong made the call and then checks the 
river.
Ivey pauses, stares down his opponent, and then announces an all in. Wong makes the call and discovers that his 
full house was no good against Ivey's 
boat. The stacks were close, and after they were counted down it was discovered that Wong was left with just 10,500.
Interestingly, Ivey had lost a monster pot yesterday in the Main Event when he flopped a set of fours but lost to a set of sevens. This time he was on the good end of things.
