Ooi Holds On
Level 26
: 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante
Ricky Vikas open-jammed from the small blind to cover Jun Wen Ooi's remaining 650,000 in the big blind. Ooi made the call and the players went to showdown.
Jun Wen Ooi: A♦2♠
Ricky Vikas: 8♣7♥
It was a race to the finish but Ooi picked up a pair of deuces on the J♣2♥3♣ flop which was enough to secure them their seat in the main event and double their chip stack after seeing the K♦ and J♦ complete the board.
