Dong Keeps His Foot on the Gas
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Nelson Dong opened to 12,000 from early position and was called by David Pham from directly behind and Robert Spano in the big blind for a three-way pot.
Spano checked to Dong, who continued for 13,000 on the 3♦2♣J♠ flop. Pham folded, but Spano called.
The dealer brought the 8♠ on the turn and Spano checked again — prompting a 45,000 bet from Dong. Spano again called.
Spano checked a final time on the 9♦ river, but Dong wasn't done and fired 105,000 into the middle. Spano pondered a bit before saying "Nice hand," and sending his cards into the muck.
Dong appears to be the current leader with just over 700,000 in chips.
