Hall Dusted by Dong
Level 14
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Nelson Dong has been on quite a tear in the past couple of levels and is the current definitive chip leader.
In a recent hand, Nelson Dong opened to 16,000 on the button and Laurence Hall shoved for his last 120,000 from the big blind. Nelson snap-called to put Hall at risk and a showdown was held.
Laurence Hall: 10♥9♥
Nelson Dong: K♥K♦
Things looked bleak for Hall on the Q♣2♣Q♥ flop, but the J♥ turn gave Hall a real sweat with some straight and flush outs.
It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 7♣ river bricked out and Dong was awarded the rest of Hall's chips.
