De Jong Claims Lead
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
It was a massive pot that let Brent De Jong skyrocket into the chip lead. In fact, the Australian had appeared out of nowhere before with an already big stack of around 85,000 chips and now got into a raising war with Tho Nguyen. All the chips of the latter got in preflop for almost 40 big blinds and De Jong happily called with pocket aces.
Nguyen held 
and was greeted by the 
in the window only for the 
to appear right after. The rest of the board ran out 
and that was it for "Tony".
